Unfortunately, overnight camping isn't allowed at Doney Mtn picnic area.
There was a couple from New Jersey who spent the night in their rented RV
following an observing session with some members of CAS. Apparently, they
weren't disturbed. I've never encountered any forest service staff during the
handful of times I've observed there.

area gets.
