CABAZON, CA — The Morongo Band of Mission Indians has opened its Interstate 10 Morongo Travel Center in Cabazon that includes a 32-pump gas station, dog park, car wash, slot machines, a convenience store and other offerings.

Located behind Morongo’s existing gas station at Morongo Trail and Thunder Road, the new 6.7-acre Travel Center also has a bank of electric vehicle charging stations, eight Tesla superchargers, RV dumping, propane fills, six high-speed diesel truck pumps and diesel exhaust fluid.

“Our sleek new travel center has everything a traveler could ask for and more, from numerous Tesla and electric car charging stations to the lowest fuel prices around,” said Morongo Tribal Chairman Charles Martin. “Patrons can stop by to wash their car, gas up, charge up, grab a snack, or relax while they enjoy gaming at one of more than 100 slot machines inside.”
