Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Big open parking lot on Lake Rousseau.
No signage with park hours or overnight restrictions. Building at one end that has a light that stays on all night, but other than that it’s quiet and hardly any noise from the street.
There’s a porta-potty, and 3 covered docks with picnic tables on the lake.
One bar of service with Sprint, but worked well enough.
Highlights:
Fireflies at night, lots of stars, big grassy areas perfect if you have a pet, felt safe and quiet enough to sleep with my back doors open to let a breeze in.
Picnic tables on dock were perfect for coffee in the morning. Even had an alligator keep me company while I journaled. (he was nice and stayed in the water.)

As stated before, large open parking lot with a boat launch. Mostly fishing culture, with many friendly fishermen that leave after dark. One of the quietest and most peaceful parking lots I’ve stayed in. Big enough for a big rig, as many fishermen tow their boats into here. 3-4 bars Verizon service. Porta potty. Arrived at 5pm and stayed until 10am. Lots of birds turtles and alligators in the water besides fish :)
Report Check-InLast of the fishermen cleared out an hour after dark, just my little van and a class A on the other side of the big paved lot. A couple carloads of kids raced in at 2am to (I’m guessing) drink a few beers but they were surprisingly quiet. Didn’t hear them leave.
Quiet, no signs prohibiting overnights, mostly level. Would stay here again.
