Stayed one night and had no problems. beautiful location and pretty quiet most of the night. Police drove through as I was getting up but didn't say anything to me. Nice let area, picnic tables and a few grills. There's a creek with a small waterfall and some trails.

Nice level rest stop. No convenient parking for RV but a couple parked parallel using 5-6 spaces. Plenty of spots, picnic tables and grassy areas. Flush toilets in typical rest area. It had warm water for hand washing. Oh the little things in life!! Seemed a little sketch at first but by 10:00pm about 10 cars/vans were here and it felt safe. Nice spot.

As described in the other reviews. Lots of picnic tables, great rest stop if on the road. Stayed 1-night, many cars stopping in throughout the night, but overall quiet.

Stayed one night (a bit longer than the 12 hours) with no issues. Felt relatively quiet and safe.

Signs limit parking to 12 hours. Close to the highway, so lots of road noise. But this could work as an overnight stop in a pinch. Limited parking spaces. There were two other RVers who appeared to be camping.

Great nights sleep, got in just before dark and we are leaving around 1:00 the next day. 12 hour limit but no one seems to care which is nice. Empty and beautiful, lovely creek and flowers.

Small rest stop, only 4 or 5 other cars parked for the night. Bathrooms were clean, and there's plenty of room to let the dog out.

No camping sign posted as soon as you enter but once in the parking lot there's another sign saying you're allowed to park for 12 hours. You can hear the traffic from the highway, and of course there's overhead lights, but neither were too bad. Bathroom with flush toilets and a lawn and baggies for taking the dogs out.

Intended on staying here, but super sketchy duo in a car with a dog starting walking around and checking me out, so had to NOPE! out of there

Stopped here but there are no camping signs posted here so I decided not to stay.

Good place for a night. Rest stop, decent bathroom som grass and tables. A few other cars with a lot of the nearby officials camp sites closed due to Covid this is a worthy place to stay for a night

Nice rest area without big semi trucks. Separate rest areas on each side of the highway, with very different vibes. One is more flat and open, the other, up a little incline and a bit more off the road. There’s a little creek to explore within the dense forest, just beyond the picnic area, but I didn’t find any hiking trails. There’s a few really huge Fir trees here. Look up. They’re pretty special. This was a nice spot to stay the night, and not flooded with bright lights.

Great spot! Lots of spaces mainly for campervans and truck campers. Flush toilets. Poor cell signal. Right by Highway 18 so some traffic noise during the night.
