Quiet city lot downtown with only limitation sign I see is: 24 hour maximum stay. I even see city has put portapotty in the corner of the lot (frequented by homeless)
FYI, only go there if you can fit in a single parking spot. They have concrete curbs at this parking, so you can't pull through to take two spots.

Large parking lot in downtown area — no problems per se but difficult to recommend. Very, very noisy even with earplugs. Plus, after I read up on Oregon parking laws sleeping here is illegal but if your semi-stealth about it probably won’t be bothered. Cannabis shop on the corner, laundromat 4 blocks away, lots of restaurants and an art museum nearby — so convenient location. Porta potties but gross. Farmers Market seasonally every Wednesday — I just missed it as it closes at 2pm.

We slept two nights in a row here and nobody bothered us. The porta potties were open. And we moved during the day.

Dormimos dos noches seguidas aquí y nadie nos molestó. Los sanitarios estaban abiertos. Nos movíamos a otro lado durante el día.

We were told by a parking attendant in the morning that we were not allowed to sleep over night in this lot.

Stayed here 2 nights with my wife and 2-year-old daughter. It was fine and we felt safe.

There were 2 other vans each night. We didn’t see any people wandering around. Some road noise which is to be expected downtown. It was a decent, free spot for us.

We tried the other municipal lot in town and it was very small. We would have had a hard time parking our 22’ van in there especially with other cars parked in there already.

Decent spot in town for the night. Some road noise from cars driving down the nearby street. Will likely stay here again while in town.

does not feel safe, definitely not quiet. arrived around 8pm and set up for the night. 10pm heard a man yelling and say he’d “stab the next random bitch he saw” while also using racist slurs. he left shortly after and i didn’t move because there are 2 other vans here and he faded off in the distance still yelling. went to sleep and woke up to a woman yelling about god knows what (says fck every other word) while she’s going around the parking lot/area nearby at midnight. road noise isn’t bad (a car every so often), but the random spurts of yelling is.
wouldn’t stay here again, wouldn’t recommend either.

Good spot. No troubles. Great coffee within eye shot. So it goes.

Totally random small lot, but it really is a safe quiet place for a night. There were 4 other vans with me.

24-Hour Parking Lot with a porta-potty. A few blocks from the water.
