Got rained out at my campsite, slept here on the level ground. No signs posted, woke up to 6 inches of snow
Got snowed out at Flaming Gorge, stayed 2 nights here (non consecutively). Somewhat quiet, would stay again
Loads of sites along the FS roads out here, you don’t have to look hard, easier with more ground clearance
Stayed 5 days here (stat limit 16 days). Close to Summit Rest Area (potable water March-October, flush toilets), Laramie for restocks, and the Vedauwoo Recreation Area. So much free camping here, only downsides are wind, & road noise. Absolutely beautiful views of the valley. Would stay again 100%
Pulled up at the Loves in Box Elder just after midnight. It was an easy, quiet night, but there were some sketchy people there in the morning
This campground was fantastic! I jumped on it, it was the last campground with availability in the Path of Totality for the Solar Eclipse. Sites are at perfect price points, you can get water/50a sites for $25/night, pretty darn good. Would stay again
I just stopped while passing through, but I didn’t see any signs prohibiting overnight parking. It would probably be a quiet night if you stayed here.
My destination for the day was another 50 miles up the road, but I was exhausted from driving across Texas, and pulled off at this exit. The Truckstop across the street had signs posted, so Flying J it was. I parked amongst a gauntlet of box trucks to the right of the store, and slept. It was very loud, it did not feel safe. And, when I woke up in the morning and was about to leave, a man blocked my car in with his truck and was out looking at the front of my car. He moved when I asked him, but it just all felt very sketchy. Maybe I was just paranoid with it being so close to the border and El Paso not being the safest, but I probably would not stay here again unless I really had to.
I was exhausted and it was 1am, I was not making it to my planned destination. I saw the big sign and breathed a sigh of relief! I didn’t ask, but there wasn’t any signs preventing overnight parking, so I respectfully parked far away from the store, and slept. A little loud, as I was in close proximity to the trucks, but just fine.
Very nice rest area on I-10. I usually stop here if I’m passing through. Have never slept here overnight, but it feels safe enough to. There’s lots of picnic tables, and a playground for the kiddos.
I’ve slept a few times here in my travels, and it’s understandable why I do so. This location has always been friendly to overnight parking (though I’ve never asked). It’s refreshing to not see the two hour parking signs not up here (yet). Nice, quiet place for some sleep, though you will need window covers if you don’t like the light, the parking lot is lit up like a Christmas tree 😂.
I did not ask. I parked close to the Tesla Supercharger next to a van & a box truck that looked like they were there for the night too. Surprisingly, really poor Cell Signal (Verizon). I slept great until the Thunderstorms hit at 2am with hail. Other than that, a nice place to sleep the night.
I was told to park as far away from the store/close to the fast food restaurants/59 as possible. Pulled in at about 3am, left at 10am. No problem, felt safe and was quiet.
Good little park off the beaten path. You can camp with water views. Flush toilets with running water, but those mosquitoes will eat you alive.
Very quiet, except during hunting season (wear blaze orange!!!). Any car should be fine on the dirt road, just take it slow.
I like off the beaten path places, this sure is one of them! The tent sites are very nice, close to the river & oxbow lake (kayaks for rent!). Very peaceful.
This is a great campground if you have an RV, or are car camping. There isn't much privacy, and very little cell signal (Verizon). Other carriers reported better on Recreation.gov. Great for one night, but if I was to stay here longer, I'd prefer the tent sites.
This may very well be the cheapest lakefront real estate in Texas. You simply cannot beat $15/night right on the water! Very quiet, and never crowded (in November). Decent cell signal, and great reception on my Transistor/Weather radio.
Rolled in here at about midnight on my way out west for some much needed sleep, it was very quiet, and there were not very many other folks overnighting, at least it appeared that way. Park out of the way of the store and you should be just fine. Easy access to I-20.
This place is wonderful. I came here some years ago with my father, and had to venture out and see it again. Nothing has changed, and that's a great thing. The park was virtually empty in early February, I saw a grand total of five people over my three days here. There were many bison, prarie dogs, and stars. There are loops with full hookups, but most of the primitive tent sites are walk-in, though not far from the parking areas, and all with fantastic views of the canyons & Caprock Escarpment. This park is a hikers dream! Many trails to fuel your desires.
The racoons will get your trash/food if they are able to get to it, even if you are in your campsite. They do not care.
