    Private Picnic Area Car-Camp Spot

    Loved it here! But the listing on here is misleading; it is actually a picnic/rest overlook area that allows car/RV camping but I’m sure no tents. There are no bathrooms or water but very nice picnic tables, trash cans, a grill, and shaded paved areas. Lots of grass and trees, dogs allowed, and a parking lot. We had one neighbor when we stayed one night and the view can’t be beat. Would definitely come back- a few people come and go and it seems to be a hidden gem.

    Great Spot for the Night

    What a great find. Small lot, but stunning views of the canyon below and enough room for the low traffic it seems like this sees. Some Verizon signal but only by the fence line.

    Beautiful views

    We arrived right before sunset and there was only one other camper there. The views were so pretty and it was flat for car camping. There were a few cars that came in the middle of the night and then left, but we were there on the weekend with meteor showers so I assumed it was people stargazing. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there’s no bathroom, but it was a great spot!

    Stunning but Windy

    This place has the most amazing views! I was the only one there for the one night. The weather was great, but then the wind picked up big time at night. Maybe it was just that day, though. I had a rooftop tent that was just blowing around and was really loud which made it hard to get any sleep. If you have a small travel trailer, that would be better.

    Great view, mostly for boondocking.

    I stayed last night and had no problems except for one of the #vanlife dudes emptied his chemical toilet into the parking lot and it ran down the parking lot to where I was setting up my stuff. I plead with him to stop dumping because he was dumping for like 10 minutes. People like him are going to get these places removed.

    The sleep was great. I slept most of the night in my hammock connected to the back of my truck. Bring some bug spray the mosquitoes are pretty bad.

    Had wonderful stars and a beautiful sunrise.

    Clean, easy to access, worth the drive

    I got here around 9 pm expecting the place to be full but I was the only one there. No bathroom, two picnic tables. Beautiful sunset coming in from I-40, woke up to a gorgeous sunrise over the canyon. It was very windy, which kept me up. Could hear a couple of cars passing by the road below, only one car came in when I was there around 2:30 am and they left shortly after.

    Beautiful View, kind of a parking lot

    It’s a fenced area that has a great view and picnic tables. There’s also trash cans. You can probably pitch a tent in the small grass area, otherwise you have to camp in the parking lot in your vehicle.

    Easy to find, beautiful view

    Stayed at this picnic area without expecting too much, but it was beautiful! It is not a pull off in the side of the road- there was a small hill that led to the area that looked out over the canyon. Amazing views!

    There is no bathroom at this location. I had plenty of cell service. I stayed one night, and was the only one there. There are two picnic tables at this location.
