park at Mike Bowen's parking lot. It is the closest and the safest.
Mike has a reputation that may or may not be deserved.. though no one who has parked in the pay-lot has had problems.

Mike is a nice enuff guy who will greet you and welcome you to the ranch.

I had a encounter with Mike one night I camped in the parking lot and he kept driving by putting a flash light in my vehicle.
I eventually said "SCREW IT" and left, though I had paid the overnight fee.
Mike is Mike.
