Okahumpka Turnpike Rest Area

We LOVE Natures Table. The service is amazing and the food is superb. Keep up the great effort. When we travel the turnpike… it’s NT or wait… thank u. Nk

Nothing to rant or rave about. They must have renovated the bathrooms since the other reviews because they are all indoors now and very nice and clean. There is even a full baby changing area in the men’s room, and I’m sure the woman’s room had one too. Everything was closed when we got here (just after midnight) except for Dunkin Donuts. The gas was high but it’s last gas for a while unless you exit so what can you do. We snagged a lot of brochures for things to do in Florida when we get back home. It was surprising to see so many things we didn’t even know were in our state. When we get back to florida we have to check it all out.

This is your basic rest stop. They have Nature’s Table, KFC and DD. They also have a store where you can purchase cigs, candy and lotto. This rest area has not been remodeled yet. The bathrooms are clean and that’s important.

Horrible step child that the Fl Turnpike forgot about. The other ones are so much nicer. If you’re traveling north just wait till you get to Wildwood. If you’re heading south go to the next one. The upgraded plazas are loved like a new car. These older plazas have been forgotten about. Literally. Pitiful.

This is the review of the gas station area.
I love toll roads. They are better maintained, have less traffic and usually well worth the minimal toll. When heading home from Disney I stopped here for fuel and a bathroom break. Because this facility is on the toll road, I had assumed it would be beautifully maintained like the road itself, and be fancier than other gas stations since I was paying a premium to use it. I was wrong.
The station itself is somewhat difficult to enter. I think that may be the way it is designed to accommodate both sides of the roadway (the facility is in the middle of both roads). Pulling to the pumps was harder than it should have been, but they did advertise the hoses would reach regardless of what side you pulled into. Fuel was considerably more expensive than non-​toll road stations.
After fueling up, I headed inside for snacks and a bathroom break. The convenience store area was tiny compared to most modern stations, especially those located along major roadways. They had a decent selection of items, but everything was so compact that it was difficult to find what I was looking for.
The bathrooms were located outside of the station to the rear. All I can say about those restrooms is that they had a very high volume of use, and were disgusting.
The only thing this station has going for it is the convenient access to the toll road. Maybe the rest of this area is better, but if I were you, I would avoid this station.

This is the first or last rest area on the Florida Turnpike depending which way you’re going.
You’ll find everything you need from this official rest area: gas, a food court, gift shop, travel brochures, vending machines, pay phones, picnic tables and a dog walking area. This is a bit older than some of the rest areas and the Shell gas station there is usually .10-.15 cents higher than the average. If you’re going south, there’s hundreds of travel brochures for all of central FL. If you’re going north, don’t forget to get your FL lottery tickets and stuff your belly. Unfortunately over the last 6 weeks I have noticed that 3 of the stalls in the ladies room have «out of order» signs on them and on 1 occasion they were out of hand towels.
