Picturesque and serene, if you are a sun powered mermaid, this would be a charging station

Spacious sites .Staff friendly and accomadating! Laundery room was very nice,clean with great washers and dryers. Loved having the coin changer available. Could use a small table or counter in there to fold clothes.Also a bench or a couple of chairs for people to sit would be nice. Not everyone likes to leave their clothes unattended.

How much does parking cost?

KT Potter | Jul 19, 2022
The Wandering American | Jul 19, 2022

I paid $8 for a day pass to enter southwick which is much bigger and lavish compared to westcott so I assume it's the same price. When I visited westcott, since I was just checking it out I was able to sign in as a visitor and enter for free.
