Camping is available (for a fee), so join us for the weekend. I have reserved a group campsite for tents that permits up to 10 people, and each car entering the park has to pay a daily use fee also. We will ride many of the trails at Curt Gowdy on both the West and East sides of the park on Saturday, Aug 5 and Sunday Aug 6.
