CAMPING INFO
 
#2
Just my 2 cents but, I have been several times and it is worth the coin. The place is huge, you could easily kill a four day weekend and not see the same trail twice. Just be aware there is no camping allowed in the park so you have to leave each evening. There are two main camp grounds about 5 minutes away from the park. Windrock Park campground (owned by Coalcreek/Windrock) http://www.windrockpark.com/ and Windrock campground (not affiliated with Coalcreek) http://www.windrockcampground.com/ . They are both nice pretty comparable, with shower/bathroom facilities that are well maintained, water and electrical on most primitive camp spots, spots for trailers, RVs, cabins, etc.... Windrock Park campground would get an extra bump for a private trail to run you right up to the park entrance in case your rig isn't street legal or your on ATVs and it is the larger of the two parks with more camp sites.
