Great one night stand

Just driving by and there it was. Waiting for me. By the river. Quiet. (Except for slight noise from 95). I was the first there for the evening so I got the prime spot with covered picnic table and level concrete pad. It is literally right off the highway. A very slight drive down to the campsites. Very much like staying at a rest area but the look and feel of BLM dispersed. I highly recommend if you need someplace to park your RV for the night and have a great evening by the river.
