Latest Check-Ins
It's still possible to stay overnight but bathrooms are closed 6:30pm -7:30am. So if you don't have your own toilet it's a bit tricky.
Report Check-InCame back and spent the evening here. There was 1 other van. Perfect place , especially in winter. Facilities - no showers - but potable water and clean restrooms. Dog park and wide open walkable park like area. Very close to Monarch Pass and Salida.
Well lit and one way in - one way out. Felt secure. Back of lot is more quiet.
Nice place, clean and well maintained. large parking lot with plenty of room for big vehicles. We arrived at 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday and there were only three other vehicles in the lot. The restrooms are open 24 hours, heated, very clean, and have a power outlet on the wall. we felt safe and didn't feel like we had to try to be stealthy because signage clearly indicated that stays of 24 hours are welcome. It's at the intersection of two highways so there was modest noise from that. We didn't use the dump station or potable water but they were clearly marked and easy to access.
Report Check-InStayed here again. Nice welcoming place. 24 hour stays allowed. There are restrooms open 24 hours, $10 dump station , and free water, as well as a dog walking area.
Report Check-InGreat spot to stay overnight as it is very quiet. I ended up working here today as well since it has good reception. Bathrooms are nice and open 24/7/365 according to a sign. 24 hr limit though so only 1 night. A few other campers/rigs
Report Check-InArrived after 8pm, no other cars in the lot. Plenty of space to walk dogs, including a fenced in dog park. There is water and a dump station. We didn’t use either. There is some road noise at night on the US-50 side of the lot.
