Amargosa Valley Rest Area — Local services in Beatty

This rest area is not just functional, its also really comfortable and appealing because of its creative use of space, its simple and yet detailed layout.

Located near to service areas, boasting gas, convenience stores, and fast-food restaurants. I believe this area is maintained by NDOT and if so, they do a very good job of keeping this area in great shape. Located in this relatively small park, you will find restrooms with running water, an RV dump station, picnic tables and quite a few shade trees. This is an oasis in the middle of the desert and perfect for the tired and weary traveler to rest, eat, relax, and sleep if need be and far enough away for the...
