Very large parking lot with additional gravel/dirt lots. I had it to myself on a Thursday night. The lights stay on all night. You can hear some traffic from main road but are still secluded. Park Ranger was driving in as I was leaving around 7 AM.

Excellent spot to park, I pulled in around 8:30 and there was about 7 or so vans there so it really made me feel safe, got to chat with a few other people there and everyone was kind. I would stop there again if I was passing through.

Perfectly quiet spot with very well maintained pit-toilets. I actually bumped into the NPS ranger who cleaned and took the trash out, after I woke up in the morning.

Beautiful place to wake up & have a nice morning coffee / breakfast before a walk or bike ride on the canal. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

**one thing to note: men’s bathroom did not lock

Surprisingly a very quiet (in terms of the number of people overnighting). I parked way back in the corner and had no issues. Park rangers come by around 7 to clean bathrooms but don’t bother anyone. Decent amount of traffic noise if that is an issue for you. But pretty and near great trails

Pretty decent sized parking lot. Got there right when it started getting dark. There was one other overnighter already there and just 2 other cars on the other side of the parking lot that left shortly after I got there. Woke up in the middle of the night to see another traveler parked a few spots from me. Was honestly such a quiet and cute little spot.

I stayed one night with a travel trailer and had no issues. The lot was super quiet all night and we got a good night's rest. There was one other van dweller here as well. This is the larger of the two parking lots and much easier to navigate with a longer rig. I had 3 bars on Verizon and was able to work a bit using my hotspot. The pit toilets were well maintained and there is also recycling and regular trash cans available.

Stayed here both May 31 and June 1. Was only vehicle on the 31st. On the 1st I was solo most of night but when I woke up a van was right next to me (kinda weird in a large parking lot). Clean pit toilets and the parking lot lights turn off around 12:30 am. A little highway noise but it mostly dies down during the late night hours. The listing indicates there’s wifi but that’s incorrect.

Decided to add Parking lot from other post nearby. Nice night, lit lot, didn’t check bathrooms. Lots of cars into the night but didn’t bother us
