Easy stop for the night

Good for an overnight. Nothing special just a gravel lot but mostly quiet in July. Lots of petrified dog poop. Be careful

agreed. not a great spot

It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.

This is a joke

It's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility

Why is this even on this app?!

Nice - but maybe not public land

I had a great quiet night at this spot. When packing up to leave in the morning, an oil (?) company pickup truck stopped by and asked a few questions. I said I was just heading out - got the sense camping wasn't allowed. Probably best to leave first thing in the morning.

Good for one nighter

Great views and quiet enough for a night. It does not have any services. Tmobile service is good. We had a little trouble finding a level spot. It is gravel and some parts are more compacted than others.
