You need your own camping gear. I kept it pretty simple to tent, chair, and a cot to sleep on. It gets a little chilly there at night even in the summer so plan that out accordingly. The nearest store is limited in what they have and is cash only, if you want a full grocery store it's about 30 minutes away. If you're trying to go on a weekend of a new moon the reservations will probably be full, or if a special event like the height of the perseids. It's a great place to camp and would highly recommend it. Another answer was right, it's primitive meaning there is a bathroom building but it's basically a permanent port-a-potty. I'd plan a trip during the day to use a restroom with running water for anything other than going #1. There's also no showers so if you're staying more than a day I'd bring wet wipes just to clean off a bit.
That place is mostly a ghost town .. the parking lot is huge and the campground is huge ...you better check the website and make sure theres no events happening there and monitor the weather closely
Thank you guys.. The given information is helpful.
You'll need your own tent and camping equipment. I'm not sure if you can spend the night in the visitor space, I'd assume no. Might be able to sleep in a car on the roadside if you're desperate.
When I went there recently lady friend and I stayed at a hotel called Big Oaks in about 11 miles away. The road that we took to get to the lookout site I think I saw a couple camping spots so I don't know the names of them you might have to look up the park name and it find out about the camping areas with the tents and all that stuff but if you're going to just the lookout place you don't Camp there you just take blankets and camping chairs and maybe a snack or two. It does get cold up there I was just up there a week or two ago and it was cold like 50s. So Google the State Park Regency if you could find out from an office about there camping areas on the road to the park and then go from there but other than that there are small little motels for cheap price.
You'll need everything
This is primitive camping. You will need to bring all camping equip. There is little chance that reservations will be full.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
I wanna visit at December, is the park still open? And do I need to bring a covid test to enter?
