Yes, it has facilities (public toilet, play ground, picnic tables and recycling), but it’s basically a parking lot in the middle of town.
Not very attractive at all, we decided to stay elsewhere.

A seemingly undiscovered wee stop over.
There’s 24 hour flush toilets (x2), a covered picnicking area, a playground, enormous recycling bins, and a great big parking area in a lot behind the main set of shops in town. The lot is tidy and well lit, although empty. No dump station, but if you’re looking for somewhere near Gore, and Lumsden is too far, you could do a lot worse than this little gem.
