If you to star gaze and not camp, I do not think there is a charge. If u like camping it's cheap, $30 a night and well worth every penny. I did not see much Milky way because of the time of year. I did see many galaxies
It is free to enter the park, and the sky gazing area. As always, the milky way bands can be seen so long as the sky stays cloud free. The time of night for best viewing can be found on the web.
