Richmond Rest Area

This rest area is the last one you encounter along I-​94 before traveling through Macomb County and further into and around Detroit.
I have been visiting this rest area for decades and it has changed little. The layout of the grounds is an older design, with the building sharing the cookie-​cutter architecture of years gone by.
There are picnic tables and free-​standing barbeque grills available throughout the grassy lawn areas. The grounds are well maintained. The main building houses the rest room facilities, and there is a snack and refreshment out-​building close by.
Plenty of parking is available on the car side of the building, and during the day, truck parking is usually plentiful. But the truck and trailer/​RV side can get crowded, especially at night when truckers need to take a mandatory 10 hour break. Oftentimes, night time truck parking can go to 120% capacity and more.
