Russell's Travel Center

It's a good, quiet place to overnight.  It has been sold to TA and is no longer Russell's.  The car museum is gone.  The restaurant & Subway closed at 9:00.  They have slots for RV's, but had 'Reserved' markers on them.  When we asked about the spaces, they said they don't have them anymore.  We parked along the front side of the lot, and woke up to a beautiful view of the mountains.  

It was free so that was a plus. There are a lot of trucks parking there as well, so it is relatively loud. The gas station is nice. The restaurant was probably a two out of five. Extra greasy and high price.

Plenty of space to gas up both gas and diesel RV. Plenty of space to park. Super clean store, bathroom, and restaurants.  Very friendly staff. Easy on and off. You won't see it westbound until you're on the exit, but it's right there. Subway, plus a separate little restaurant we did not try. Highly recommend. 

This is a great place to stay! There was a lot of room and we found a nice quiet spot in the back. It was very level. The waitress inside the restaurant was super friendly. The food was decent and it was quiet everywhere. The waitress inside did say that they get very busy on Sundays due to the locals coming in for breakfast and said we might have a problem getting out if we parked inside. She definitely recommended parking on the outside so we would not have a problem.  We left at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday and did not have any problem. Recommended!

I don't get it. Don't see the appeal. It's hard to complain about free but wow. I've been full time for over 5 yrs and this is the loudest truck stop out there. No cell service. No water. No propane. Hard pass. I go out of my way not to have to stop here. 

We make this our favorite stop to boondock overnight coming from Colorado.   There is plenty of room to park our camper towing an auto - semis have their own space and if hungry they have a restaurant.   

So, this is a very large property with room for dozens of big rigs and RV's of any length and or size. The parking area is paved, well lit, well maintained, clean and level. There are oil, lube, car/truck wash and tire services available. They also have a well stocked store, subway and restaurant on property. The facility also offers laundromat and $7 showers. Downside is there is no wifi or Verizon cell service on property.  I stayed one night with about a dozen other RV's and big rigs without issue. Great spot for an overnight or to ride out harsh inclement weather conditions. As always, I left my area cleaner than when I arrived and made an in store purchase to thank them for allowing me to overnight. 

I don't understand why ppl like this spot. It is one of the loudest truck spots out here. I never complain about truck stop noise cause let's face it.. you get what you pay for. But there is almost no cell service. They don't have bulk water. Or propane...
If you are pulling a big rig and need diesel then I guess this might be attractive. I'm in a camper. Too big for the car spaces and to small for the truck lanes, that do fill up completely at night. None of it is shaded. 
In other words, only if I have to. 
Happy travels! 

Separate area for diesel with easy access for big RVs and semis. Fun things to see, gifts, excellent store for snacks and supplies needed, old fashioned cars, a subway with the theme of a '50s diner. Staff is very friendly. Clean bathrooms. 

Convenient. Easy on/off I-25. Works for large RV’s with a toad.  Only negatives are if you get a pre-pay pump.  Not all are that way.  Also a negative, but not the facilities fault are patrons that leave their vehicles at the pump while going inside for an extended time.  That’s just rude no matter where you are, especially with all the parking spaces available.  Spaces are available for RV’s to park for a lunch break without blocking a pump.

This is one of the best truck stops we’ve been to. Great for big rigs and easy on/off the highway. 

This place is hard to see from the highway, but it has dedicated pumps for long rigs.  The travel center was clean with a diner (closed for Covid 19) and a subway that is open.   Easy in and out. 

Website has a button for Springer location. Stayed Sept 2016 and was very noisy

i think these coordinates are wrong.  when i went to their website it read they are located on I-40  historic route 66  on the east border of the state.
