Description

MODERATOR: no camping allowed, campers woken up by police in the night]]
Great sea side spot to spend the night. When we pulled up there were about 3 vans already there and throughout the afternoon about 5 more cars and vans (and a bus) showed up. There are no signs saying no overnight parking and we did see multiple campers all tucked in for the night.

No overnight parking signs along street & street parking lots.

Report Check-In

Good location. Busy on the fourth but as everywhere! Near a beach front in the parking lot of a park

Report Check-In

Still open. I think it may be contingent on how your rig looks - if you look shady, the cops may ask you to move on.

Pretty constantly used as a ‘sit and smoke and listen to music’ spot by locals until midnight, after that relatively quiet. Felt very safe and nobody bothered us.

Report Check-In

This spot is fine but was noisy til late with cars blaring out music. Toilet available. View reasonable

Report Check-In

Not closed. No signs prohibiting parking. Stayed for 2 nights with 7 other vehicles. A local tipped me off to this spot while I was in town. Locals use the park till around midnight, after everyone leaves it is super quiet.

This is an incredible spot right on the beach, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Pack it in, pack it out, and pick up some trash to pay it forward! Help keep spots like this open =)

Report Check-In

We parked here for one night. I found this spot last night on my own using Google satellite view and came to post it when I see it is already here and marked closed. I wouldn't have picked it if I knew. That being said, the police didn't bother us. A handful of locals were up til about midnight with loud music and spinning out their tires.

Report Check-In

Had a good night's sleep, although there are locals playing loud music until late. No restrooms during off season (we were here in November). Beautiful spot at the waterfront.

Report Check-In

It was OK here - no problems overnighting
Kids enjoyed playing basketball on the nearby court too. Pretty waterfront walks around the area as well
Parking lot turns in to a bit of loitering ground for people in cars until really late through the night. Listening to their music and smoking green - seems to be a hideaway for more than just RVers trying to spend the night

Report Check-In

Stayed for 3 nights in a 40ft school bus near the tennis courts. Besides car and pedestrian traffic, no one bothered us. The lot is across from a beach, about 20 yards away. Google will say this park is closed, but it's not. Totally free, no hook ups, public restroom within walking distance, YMCA nearby.

Report Check-In

We parked close to the tennis courts. No specific RV-Parking labelled anywhere. Couldn’t find any NoOvernight signs. Parking at the little seafront arcade is metered. There is a private lot for YachtClub members only (looks out of season for rec sailing though) Will report back after trying to stay for 2 nights 👍🏼

We unfortunately could not spend the night as we had planned to drive to Boston late in the evening, we stayed till about 10pm playing card games with a couple we met there also doing van life. There are no signs saying no overnight parking and we did see multiple campers all tucked in for the night.
