Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Pullout of Foothills Parkway close to Townsend. No signs saying no overnight parking. Pulled in around 8pm, watched the sunset, and slept in the backseat of my Honda Ridgeline - left at 6am with no issues. Pretty quiet with a bit of road noise from a town road below but not much in terms of traffic on the parkway road. Great spot - definitely recommend.
And decent two-bar cell signal

Great spot! Nice to be next to the river too. We had bad weather but it looks like you could go for a dip here.
Report Check-InVery nice spot to watch the sunset. Arrived at 6pm, left at 8 am. Low traffic, one other overnighter.
Report Check-InStayed for 3 consecutive nights without a problem in my converted SUV. This is down a secluded parkway, so not much traffic after nightfall when I was there. Amazing views; would definitely stay again!
Report Check-InNice little turnoff just as everyone else has described. I think you're supposed to have a parking pass ($5/day from the national park). There are also weekly and annual options if you plan on being here for longer periods. I have one from today, but it technically expires at midnight. I'll let you know if there's any issue
Report Check-InFantastic spot. There is a little mound of grass that seems to cover disability from the road. Unbothered arrived around 8:30 PM on Saturday and left around 5:30 AM.
Report Check-InHandy spot, we were the only ones there. No amenities, probably best to arrive late and leave early to keep this spot open!
Report Check-InWorked out great. No traffic passing the overlook at all during the night. Middle of the week.
