I did not get to explore all of the park, but the fort part has a lot of graffiti and broken glass.

The views are great from the surrounding coves. The fort itself is a run down, overridden with graffiti, and no where near taken care of. Very disappointing

Is Camping allowed?

Don't believe so haven't seen anyone camping but I usually go to the fort closest to the water. I know there are other forts at the beginning of the property, but haven't stopped at them. Park services could probably give you a deffinet answer but I believe it is only open from sunrise to sunset. The views are beautiful .
