Awesome rest stop with pet area. Great facilities, picnic tables, data service (I have at&t), friendly people, clean bathrooms, information/visitor center, microwave, and vending machines

Saw the notices about only three hour parking during the dark hours, and took a chance to spend the night.

We’re traveling in a camper van and had absolutely no problems pulling in around 7 PM and leaving around 8:30 AM.

Quiet place to sleep and beautiful views.

Beautiful view, nice restrooms. There is a white tiny little sign at the front of the car parking lots, saying: max. 3 hours in the dark & max. 24 hours. But if you park at the RV & truck lots, there is no sign at all. Decided to say I didn't walk to the car lots, so I had no chance to read it 😉

I did not see any signs stating a three hour limit. The white regulations board with black writing says there is a 24 hour time limit.
I stayed overnight and had no issues. Very gorgeous views!

Beautiful rest area with a phenomenal view of the lake. Lots of parking, picnic tables, benches and tons of area for your free companion to enjoy. there's a beautiful Welcome Center with vending machines and a microwave in one area and lots of maps, guides and trust information. there is a Welcome Center guest representative to help you with information he was a very friendly. there's a wonderful bench right outside the building to sit, read or just enjoy the view.

Stunning lake view rest area. The best I’ve ever seen as far as amenities, view, cleanliness and park like setting.

Signs allege maximum three hour parking. Chose not to chance it. Staties coming through regularly to check.

Nice new rest area near Jamestown. Big lot for trucks and big rigs to park overnight. Tables. Bathrooms. Wifi. Some vending machines. Nice lake view. Quiet.
