Enjoyed seeing these Ken! I must go there. Are there any restrictions, such as needing reservations, which several parks seem to be adopting these days?
There are/were no requirements for reservations to enter the park. The official operational hours of the park are from sunrise to sunset, but there are no gate closures, so one can come and go outside these hours. There are self serve fee stations at the two park entrances. The rules say visitors cannot be out and about in the park prior to sunrise nor after sunset and that sort of activity is considered trespassing. Campers are supposed to be in their campsites until sunrise and after sunset. This is a rather severe restriction for photography. We might have pushed these limits just a little.
At the time that I was there, the two campsites were still first come first serve, even though there had been a plan to make the sites reservable. I do not know where that plan stands now. It is a popular park, so demand for campsites is heavy. There is BLM land just a few miles outside the park with much free camping available. We stayed on the BLM land several nights and then were lucky enough to find vacant campsites within the park.
