Super unfriendly town for RV

There is no parking for RV around town in walking distance (Long Walk included). All parking only for cars.

Great wilderness

The area is so untamed and great for the skilled camper. Nice places with amenities, but you can go off the beaten path and do some hardcore stuff. Water sources all around. Very cold until August.
