Report Check-InWe were looking for a place to stay for a quick visit and reprovisioning. We asked at the visitor center. This spot is privately owned and they could not give permission. However, they see RVs parked overnight regularly without issues. We stayed and had a good, quiet night. Close to everything in town. Good ATT/Bell and Verizon cell signals.

Report Check-InNo signs for overnight parking. we stayed several nights at downtown rv and saw no one overnighting here. It’s a large area.We moved to behind sign forest, between a vacant hotel complex to plan next destination.
If your not large drive around town you’ll find lots of pull off areas especially near lake wye on the east side. Had view of water and lake access. Great walking trail to around it.
