Yes. 50' north of parking lot turn right.

Is it one of those areas where locals like to party on weekends?

We were there last weekend. Two guys in parking lot were hanging out and asked for money to go buy noodles. They were probably harmless but I wondered why they were there if they could not hike. I would not want to camp near such a well traveled road. We camped 3.5 trail miles north of Woody at Lance creek. It does have water and is the only water until you get to Neels Gap.
It's the proximity to the road and the likelihood of undesirable traffic that concerned me, thus prompting my initial question. Thanks for the input.

Hike 1 mile north and camp on top of Preachers rock. Great tent sites on top behind the rocks.
