The park is open but has no more shelters. Only the slabs remain but not accessible anymore. It is just a parking lot now. The women’s restroom has no door but do has toilet paper. A man come each day to clean the place. Also, there is a fishing pier.

Report Check-InThe park is open but has no more shelters. Only the slabs remain but not accessible anymore. It is just a parking lot now. The women’s restroom has no door but do has toilet paper. A man come each day to clean the place. Also, there is a fishing pier. Don’t bother with the signs on the pier, the maintenance man told us they just forgot to remove them. Stayed a few days, nobody bother us.
Report Check-InThe pier was washed out two years ago and the park is still closed for repairs. Locals say the police are strict about enforcement. The town is beautiful though, wild deer are everywhere and you can park on nearby streets.
Report Check-InDrove to this spot late in the evening hoping to rest for the night, but the road was closed off as of 12/7/2020. :,( that’s just how it goes sometimes tho.
Report Check-InWhat a great stop, if driving from the southwest it takes at least an hour through very unpopulated areas lots of farm land and wind turbines. There are 6/7 RV spots, the other areas are for cars only. This is a big fishing area . Also a herd of deer populate the Port Mansfield area and are great to watch. Limited T Mobile but good antenna TV
