    Default Parking in Hot Springs

    A buddy an I will be hiking the Erwin to Hot Springs section next week and are looking for suggestions on parking a car in Hot Springs for a few days. Anyone know of some spots? Public would be nice, safe would be better.
    Thanks

    There is a public lot at the south trailhead next to Laughing Heart Lodge. I have parked there before for several days without issue.

    There is also a public lot right behind main street that hikers are recommended to use. We left our's next to Laughing Heart for 12 days with no issues.

    I don't know if it's still in effect this year but in previous years the campground would allow parking for $1.00 a night,
