Stopped on way home from Florida vacation. Only one section of womens restroom open - about 6 stalls - one had out of order sign on door and another door was locked. Needless to say there was about a 15 minute wait. The hand dryer only worked part time. The ATM was also out of order. Overall dirty and run down.

This facility is located on the east side of I-95 just about a mile past the Florida-Georgia border. The turnoff has a wide sweeping turn to the right as you exit. You pass by about 10 covered tables in a grassy area with numerous shady trees before you reach the welcome center and the parking area. There is parking directly on 3 sides of the building for the cars and farther out, but directly in front, for the larger vehicles. The center has obligatory restrooms. They were good and clean. The visitor’s center portion of the building consists of a large room with a small seating area with a TV, a counter, and various racks with brochures of attractions for the different areas around the state. There was a pot for free coffee. There was nobody at the counter to ask questions but there were plenty of brochures and maps around the wall. There was a very nice torpedo on the grass outside the building to pay homage to the Kings Bay Naval base. Very nice display. Getting back on the road going north is very easy although it goes under an overpass which is different from most visitor center exits/entrances. Overall, this was a very nice, functional, welcome center. A good place to stop if you want a driving break as you are headed north into Georgia.

Everything you could want in an information center, without the free juice! We still love our FL welcome & information center with its free juice samples.
This welcoming information center had personable, friendly people, offering a plethora of brochures for everyplace imaginable in GA, as well as maps and discount coupons. The bathrooms are plentiful, with three areas to wash up and dry (no towels, just hot air). Thirsty? There's a water fountain. Looking for a photo op? Pose in the postcard cutout to be picture perfect! If you like submarines, you can pose with the torpedo outside. Then head over to the submarine museum in St. Marys.
Outside are picnic areas with covered shelters and places to stretch your legs. This is a very welcoming information center & rest stop!

An example of Georgia pride. Clean restroom and grounds. The VIC is highlighted by the various sections of Georgia with literature and brochures of that section.

Stopped by here on my way to visit the charming, historical town of St Mary's. A very nice, clean welcome center with plenty of information about Georgia and the area I was visiting. The employees were very nice and helpful with information about places we wanted to see. Bathrooms were very clean.

Stopped for a break on the way home. The main building was recently refurbished and while it looks the same on the outside, it was fresh and new on the inside. The grounds were well kept and typical for the area.
Overall a nice area, would have been nice if the Georgia Lottery machine was working and for $1.85US, Cokes in the vending machines could be cold instead of luke warm.

Great place to stop for restroom. Restroom was clean and well maintained. If you need travel information make sure you arrive before 5:30pm. Visitor information staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Information available for all the regions of Georgia.

This is an interstate rest area on the Northbound lane of I-95 after you cross the state line from Florida. When up and running, it is a good stop. Lots of information on Georgia and clean restrooms. However, they have closed it for renovation, and I am not sure when it will reopen. So if you you are planning a trip, you might want to stop at the Kingsland Welcome Center on Exit 3 (2 miles further), or the Pilot Truck Stop across the street. Hopefully it will be open soon.
