Free tent camping for cyclists. Picnic benches, bike racks, bathrooms, and potable water are available. The nights can be quiet or they can be loud with the rumbling of the train across the canal. It's also next to the Highway. Geese droppings are everywhere. About 1 mile into town for food. Pizza areas don't deliver so you need to bike in. Most cafes and shops are closed on Sunday mornings.
