Latest Check-Ins
Jeannette’s Creek check in. Trains go by so can be a little noisy but a great birding area. Two bald eagle nests and a Mute Swan nearby. Locals come by regularly and are very friendly.
Report Check-Invery quiet spot to catch a night’s rest. there is a sign warning that water levels fluctuate, so i parked in the side where the trees are since it was raining hard. didn’t experience any issues. 1 other van there overnight.
Report Check-InWe stayed here for 1 night in our 19ft van. It was off-season and a little cooler - no one bothered us. Lovely spot.
Report Check-InFlat gravel lot that's used as a parking spot and boat launch. You can hear train in distance on occasion. Lot emptied out an hour or so after sunset. People showed up early morning to fish. Sign at end of lot says no parking from 11pm to 6am. We were not bothered but stay at your own risk.
Report Check-InGrand stationnement sur le bord de la rivière. Nous étions seuls, personne ne nous a dérangé. Un train a passé quelques fois pendant la nuit, mais ce n’était pas si bruyant.
Report Check-InReally nice spot, beautiful sunset, lots of birds to observe. Many locals stopping by, some staying for fishing or boating but no one at night. We were told that the road was leveled recently so it was very easy to drive. Some mosquitos but great place overall, enjoy it!
Report Check-InA pretty spot right on the river with plenty of space. No toilets but there is a table and a bin. We had no issues here however we did find one sign in the morning that said cars or people are not supposed to be there between 11pm and 6am. It was right at the end and written quite small, so not easy to find and there were no other signs. Also a nice spot for seeing birds, wildlife and fishing.
Report Check-Inbusy during the day with people fishing but quiet at night. the cops came to do a check but left as quietly as they came. people with boats coming early. We had no network out there.
take care and good luck 👍🏿
Report Check-InVery secluded spot, plenty of nature. Stayed here for one night, had a few neighbours, very quiet and respectful. Also a family of swans were here on the lake with us.
