I am thinking about my first trip to Cherry Rd this weekend. Sounds cooler than Picket Post or Antennaes. Coming from the east valley, it will be about a two hour drive, so I would prefer to sleep over. I know the area, but have never been down the road to the site. So, I am wondering the following. Is camping permitted in the area ? Just car camping for me. Will it be a zoo with non astronomy campers for the July 4th weekend ? Are others planning to be there ?

Can someone update the directions on the SAC website?
