Free 5-spot grassy area beside a church with adjoining park. Water supply and waste disposal usually operational, electricity non-functional. Soft ground becomes impassable in heavy rain; GPS directions inaccurate. Quiet atmosphere but church bells ring 6am–10pm. Frequent winter closures. Bakery nearby.
