Know before you go
  • Call ahead to confirm overnight parking permission and any specific parking areas.
  • No amenities like water or dump stations are provided; this is dry camping only.
  • Cell service is typically excellent due to the urban/suburban setting.
  • Expect noise from traffic and store operations; it is not a quiet, remote location.
  • There are no fees for overnight parking, but respect store property.
Pro tips from boondockers
  • Park in less-trafficked areas, usually along the perimeter, to minimize disturbance.
  • Arrive later in the evening and depart early to maintain a low profile.
  • Support the store by purchasing groceries or other necessities.
  • Be prepared for light pollution; this is not a dark sky location.
  • Keep slides and awnings in to occupy less space and be more discreet.
