Olive Pit Dispersed Lot

**PROS:**

\+ FREE overnight parking for RVs, trailers, and camper vehicles.

\+ Very safe and heavily traffic location. Lots of travelers here spending the evening! Signs say for Olive Pit Customers Only but we spent 2 nights here (along with a few other campers) and no one ever disturbed us.

\+ Very flat, leveled, and long paved spots (great for up to 35-foot long fifth wheelers and even 50-foot rigs).

\+ Huge lot with lots of available spots. Around 10 spots for larger trailers and RVs, and lots of small spots for campervans and car rooftop tent campers. We saw 4-5 other campers around us who mostly were very private and to themselves

\+ Super convenient location near lots of fast food joints, a Starbucks, Rite Aid, and supermarket. The lot shares the same entrance as the Shell Station and Olive Pit Cafe &amp; Store where you can conveniently pick up food/beer/supplies.

\+ The Olive Pit has a great cafe and wine tasting room. They sell specialty items such as olives, balsamic vinegar, etc. And they have a great breakfast!

\+ There is a giant dumpster for trash disposal behind the Olive Pit

\+ There is also a pet area that has a small white fence around a dirted area for pets to relieve themselves.

\+ Lots of palm trees in the backdrop giving the place a very California vibe.

**CONS:**

\+ No tent camping, unless it's a car rooftop tent or a pop-up tent trailer  

\+ No fires/no showers/ no toilets (Although you can walk to the Shell Station to use their toilets which were super clean and well-maintained.)

\+ Loud 24 hour carwash at the Shell station. Usually quiets down around 9 pm

\+ Bright security lights in the parking lot. Just don't park directly under one. There are a few darker and less lit spots

Convenient location for boondocking

Not much to say similar to rest stop. Spent evening in their parking lot that does say no parking unless your a customer. I went in and purchase couple jars of olives to take to Slab City with me as trading stock now I’m a customer (happy face). No one messed with me and it was decently quiet. Only two other rvs. Super small dog potty area too but it’s their yay.
