Is overnight parking at Toll House Gap safe? Or which parking area near Roan Mountain would y'all recommend for leaving a car for a multiple-day hike? Thanks!

Toll House Gap is actually the old paystation along Roan Garden road. Cloudland is a pay use lot $3 for the day. No overnight parking at Cloudland though.

The lot at Carvers Gap is free but can get crowded.

I have called Pisgah on this and they said do not park up there. I get your pain, my trip of the roan highlands always consists of a Friday night park at carvers, night hike up to roan high knob and tent, then back northbound thru the highlands to 19E. It would make for a shorter, and most times much dryer Friday night to park at cloudland and walk the ~.4 to Roan High Knob. The lady said that the parking lot is checked from time to time by the NPS and they do issue parking tickets for overnight cars. I don't see a tow truck driving up there...
