Latest Check-Ins
We pulled in tonight at 10:30p and got “the knock”) about an hour later. After reading all of the positive reviews I was surprised, but we did notice a large RV parked across about 5 parking spaces right in front of the store entrance. The cop said one of the employees called and complained so we all had to leave. He also said (all) camping is prohibited in this area. He then told us about a gas station down the road that was open 24 hrs and is next to a large parking lot *nudge nudge * wink wink. I don’t think he told the RV about it because they’re not here, so perhaps larger rigs are an issue? We’re in a camper van btw. We plan on staying at the parking lot… we’ll
See how it goes.
Got the knock at around 9:30 pm. Not sure who it was but the other two vans left shortly afterwards. I suspect it was the store manager after closing but that's just a guess. We left for some nearby street parking. Maybe it would work if you arrived after 10. There is also a no overnight parking sign in one parking bay but it's not that obvious.

Grateful for Home Depot and this nice quiet spot.
