Overall good night

This place was advertised as free roadside car camping. If you go further down the road, there’s a parking lot to the left. No hook ups or water, but has bathrooms and showers. The showers remained closed due to Covid. I can’t attest to the bathrooms, as I didn’t use them. There are spots for cars and tents and larger spots in the middle for longer vehicles. There were a few other people there overnight and it was pretty quiet. There is a $25 fee and it’s first come first serve. There is a camp host if you need help before 8pm. We came on a Friday night and had no problems. An overall good stay for us.
