Nice dispersed site for RV

Pulled in at about 5PM on a Friday night. 2 or 3 other here. Nice little paved parking area. So good for RVs. Peaceful, quiet, except for the freight train that drifts by every hour or so. But I didn't hear much of it unless outside. Pretty peaceful. Just a small paved parking lot. Luckily, when I came in, there were only a few people here, so there was still space.
