comfort station
Highway rest facility
A comfort station is a public restroom, especially one in a park, rest area, or other outdoor location.
The term is a gentle euphemism that frames the facility as a place of relief and ease rather than naming its actual function.
The trail map showed comfort stations at two-mile intervals.
