There's no reason to call it quits when there are stars still overhead. Pitch a tent at this primitive site – no electricity, no showers, vault toilets, no pets; reservations recommended. It's a small area nestled between the two stargazing fields. The campsite at nearby Lyman Run State Park has hot showers ($4) and flush toilets.
