A little loud, noise from the highway, but overall descent stop.

Stayed two nights, surprisingly quiet at night for proximity to the 101 highway. There are a ton of mosquitos still, luckily it was cool enough we didn’t need to have our doors open.

We had good att service, T-Mobile and Verizon were good bars but slow.

$10 for an rv, there’s a sign that mentions discover pass, so we displayed the pay stub and the discover pass to be safe.

Great shade when it's hot. There was noise during the day due to road traffic, but very quiet at night.
There were TONS of mosquitoes :-(

We just stopped here for lunch on our way to the coast. looks like a nice little spot to spend the night except for the highway noise right behind the lot.

As stated 5 for tent and 10 for RV. Well worth it. Great spot! While we were there my wife picked a quart of black berries in 15 minutes. Awesome!!

Decent place to spend the night for the price. We stayed one night, payed $5 and just slept in our van. It's best to park as far away from the boat ramp as possible, way up in the corner of the lot next to the lake. Lots of fishing boats coming and going. 3 Porta-potties..one was handicap accessible.. bring your own TP.

Unfortunately lots of loud traffic during the night (trucks accelerating uphill / fishing industry). Even had somebody launch a boat at 4am.

Cool spot with views on the inlet. 10$ as described above. IMO, much Nicer then the free spot in town. Strong LTE signal. 2 other vans here as well.

Decent spot, but right on the highway. Mostly gravel. There's envelopes to put money in at the big sign by the boat launch. You rip off the back and display it on your dash. I went for wifi at Chen's Restaurant in town. Maybe a km or 2 up right beside the motel.
