Canterbury Rest Area

This rest area was clean. Plenty of food and drinks to choose from at the vending machines. Places to walk your dog or even take a walk yourself.

The cat the Canterbury rest area is very well maintained and very clean. The vending machine area was also well kept. They have a little area off the side where you can walk your dog in the grass. It's definitely nice to see that people pick up after their animals amd keep the area clean. Inside the rest area besides the very clean and well stocked restrooms they have a variety of brochures, flyers and booklets to choose from. Such as places to go or if you need somewhere to stay, to things you can do or go see in New Hampshire as well as places to eat. So to say the least I'm almost 100% positive you'll definitely be able to find something that interests you and/or satisfies your needs. Unfortunately the only negative I have come across at this rest area is that it's not open 7 days a week nor is it open for 24 hours a day. So on the days and time that they are not open they have 2 porta potties available for use. Now that it is winter they are freezing cold. If you've ever stayed at a rest area, the amount of people you see going in and out of porta potties at rest areas is honestly... amazing, crazy, jaw dropping and kind of gross all at the same time. You'll see some of the not so cleanliness people. But at most rest areas that use/used them you will see thousands upon thousands of people going in and out of the porta potties all day and all night . On top of that they're only cleaned every 2 days sometimes only once a week by the companies that distribute them. Ugh gross! Otherwise rest areas are normally good. But beware and be careful of Highly used/busy porta potties at rest areas.

I have stopped here multiple times. Men's bathroom has always been in decent condition. Building is small and is in good shape. Information kiosk, fireplace and friendly, knowledgeable staff. There are vending machines, where everything is expensive, phone booth, dog 🐕 walk area and plenty of parking. I visited with my friend and she really liked this rest stop! We liked the bird feeder that attracted different species of birds and a few overweight 🐿️ squirrels to the window 🪟.

As a native of New Hampshire, I was embarrassed by how disgusting the Porto-Potties were at this rest area. Completely unusable! A state that relies on tourism tax dollars needs to do better!

The rest area itself was locked. Both Porta potties were disgusting and OVER the brim with feces. If I could give a zero star I would. Had I have known the rest rooms were closed I would've kept driving!!

Lots of parking, nice building, vending machines, nice wooded setting

Nice spot with the usual - restrooms, wending machines... and little park, couple picnic tables. Separate parking for cars.

Good selection in the vending machines and pretty reasonable prices

Great clean place to use restroom

This is one of the best spots to stop along the way north on 93. Lots of parking and if you're driving an RV or towing I can't think of a better place to park. The building and grounds are really nice. Usually we'll stop and have lunch there because it's pleasant and quiet.
