I have some friends who will be dropping me off at Springer for my week hike. They want to hike in with me the first day camp then back out to their car. Is there safe adequate parking for one overnight’s stay at USFS 42 parking area?

I've never had any problems at USFS 42 parking area but if you have any concerns at all I suggest you park at Amicalola and hike up the approach trail. Parking lot is very safe there.
