Crestview Rest Area

Clean bathrooms and a rest area host! Surrounded by trees, there is a hiking trail that doubles as a snowmobile trail in the winter. Great way to stretch your legs in the warmer months. Kids loved it. Wildlife in the form of birds and ridiculously entertaining hoards of chipmunks. Trash (bear proof) and water. RV parking.

It’s a pretty small rest area.

Water is available on the south side near the trash dumpsters.

As others have described there is free water fill for RVs near the dumpsters. Also, a couple of water spigots on the other hand of the parking lot near the restrooms if you just want to fill a water jug. We boondocked in the national forest area nearby for a couple of weeks so the water fill, trash disposal, and recycling bins were really convenient. No dump, but there is one in Mammoth Lakes at the Community Water Authority ($10 fee).

There are dumpsters here for you to throw away your trash, which is great if you’re boondocking across the way. There is also a spot for rv’s to fill water at, as well as two water pumps for water jugs near the bathrooms. There is a pet area as well.

We stopped here on a trip from LA to Sierra City - and it lived up to all the accolades. Just 12 mins from mammoth lakes - had dinner there then headed here for the night. Easy access off the 395, lots of trees, level, restrooms, trash cans. It’s well lit at night. We found it very quiet and had no problem getting a good nights sleep.
