Easy to find. Plenty of room. Good gravel road, easy turn around. Mostly gravel parking lot with a mowed area for tenting. Im in a van/RV. Parked in the lot overnight. Flat, serviceable. No hiking trails, no amenities, just a place to stay. Good WiFi.

Quiet of the path location

We stayed here the night of the Fourth of July and it was pretty quiet. There’s another spot slightly up the road and we saw a couple people RV camping. It’s a loose gravel road that isn’t lit but we felt safe! There were a few fishermen, a couple told us that the longer grass near the gravel lot had a lot of ticks but would still be camp-able. Neither my friend or I got any ticks but we did spray pretty heavily. Overall really nice, the stars were beautiful. Built a small fire and toasted marshmallows! We’re both young females so as far as safety for us it was good!
