Reviews
NO BATHROOMS. Only in summer is there a Port a potty. Great place to walk a dog or just relax in your vehicle. The only thing in the trailer are tourist brochures. If you’re looking for a hot meal there are restaurants and less expensive diners within 7 to 10 minutes from here.

It’s a pull off, pretty much nothing else.
Yes, if you are tired you can pull off and take a nap or just stretch out, which is good. But to call it a visitor center is embarrassing.
It’s a decent sized building, but most of it is locked up and who knows what is in it or who has access.
The part you can get in has a free brochures and nothing else.
No water. No bathroom. Nothing.
at the very least a soda machine would be helpful.
Heck, that would surely even create some revenue, have no idea this building exists at all really.
