Something not right?

Picnic tables, trash and recycling bins, and the bathrooms are open.

Stayed here for one night, rolled in around 18:30 pm. Parked and made dinner. Ended up spending the night as well because it was so quiet and peaceful and had some great shaped washrooms about 150 M from the parking lot. No traffic at all through out the night. One of the best sleeps I’ve had boondocking. One other vanlifer pulled in for the night while we were having dinner.

Sehr schöner und sauberer Platz. Die Unebenheit lässt sich mit einem Keil gut ausgleichen. Der Verkehrslärm ist moderat, wir haben gut geschlafen.

Such a beautiful place right by the water. Perfect for staying a night with your car, VR or tent. There is some table to make some food and eat in peace so it’s really nice. Would really recommend it :)

Still open but I would be surprised if it’s not closed soon… since the washrooms are closed people have decided to use the bathroom on the cobblestone outside of the washroom house. I think it should go without saying that you shouldn’t do this here or anywhere… great spot otherwise.

Good spot for the night clean, beside a river. Parks guy came by to empty the garbage in the morning didn’t have any problems. Washrooms still locked due to covid

Very nice spot by a lake. Water on side of building was turned off when we were here. Washrooms still closed.

Nice spot with a view on the lake.
Washrooms are closed but you have access to fresh water on the right side of the building.
Close to a small road, not so noisy.

The place is ok for a night with nice view of the lake and picnic area, however the noise of the close by road gets worse with big truck driving from early morning

Great place by the black river. Some locals came to chat with us asking us about our destination. We stayed one night. You can hear the trucks on the highway but otherwise it’s a great area with a dry toilet for the construction workers right beside you.

Report Check-In

Construction being done but not overnight. They didn’t mind us being there. Busy spot people fishing and launching boats. But pretty spot and okay to sleep at and have some food!!
