We stopped here to have a quick lunch in our RV and really enjoyed this place. It’s a shame we can’t plan to overnight camp here on future trips as they only allow camping for bicycle riders. But a nice-sized place with lots of shade. We will stop again if through the area. Would have been a great place for a quick nap after lunch too!
