I have traveled cross country several times and the rest stop restrooms are mediocre at best. There are a few worth mentioning in particular though.
at the Fernley exit off of I-80 there is one of the worst rest areas ever, Instead of regular buildings for the restrooms there are a series of port-a-potties with chemical toilets and the smell wafts out into the parking area at times. Also in the picnic are there are faucets but they carry non - potable water.
Unless there is a real emergency I have learned to pass that one.
Also once you are off the interstates there are fewer rest areas and they are sometimes not maintainted even to the dubious standards of the highway system.
But when you do find one on a state road it is a welcome relief from running to the woods and looking for leaves or hiding behind a tree.
Highway 20 and 30 across Wyoming and Nebraska both have an occasional stop.
Just about the best is maintained at Independence Rock near Alcova in the middle of Wyoming.
