Report Check-InThe signs say you can “rest/sleep” for 10 hours. I did such. Friendly staff, 24 hr washrooms, washroom sink has warm water, water bottle filling station by washrooms. Full of other vanlifers as well, friendly all around and a life saver after not finding any open camp spots on 128 Friday night!
Report Check-InThere are signs posted on the bathroom building stating the hours you may park. 4 hours, or 10 if you are commercial. I stayed for 10, no one approached me. see my pictures for exact sign.

Report Check-InOpen and free still at this time (Oct 21 2021). Per website it's open all year. Incredibly busy when we were here, probably because it's a Sunday. Not much parking either.
