Decent size free day use parking lot. No parking 10pm to 6am. Two all gender single restrooms available (flushable toilets) though they aren't very clean. One very cold public shower and there is a spigot next to shower with excellent water pressure if you need to fill gallon water jugs or for pet. Van, pickup truck or car only. Not enough room for large RV's. Beach is across street. There are paths throughout park to exercise or walk your dog.
Enjoy your rest from either sitting on the beach or hiking around the lake. It’s just a short walk across the street from the parking lot to the beach, which is not huge but an ideal size.
Small beach access parking is good but on busy days gets full quickly.
Love this place for the free parking (when you can get it), the fact it has a rest room (if ever desperate) and how handy for the beach it is. Just walk across the street. Loses one star due to the sometimes sketchy people congregating there. That being said, no one ever bothered or harassed me when there (usually in the evenings). So worth checking out if you're heading to the beach.
