We camped at the parking lot 1/2 mile west of where the trail crosses Hwy 40. There was very little flat space for tents here and no shade from the hot sun. Cars came and went during the night. Engine braking noise from trucks on Hwy 40 was frequent. Because there are no facilities, be sure to load up on water at your prior trailhead (New Franklin, in our case). We camped here on 10/06/20.
