I noticed in one of the images for buscher state park there is a tent next to a screen shelter. We are planning a trip to the park soon. Our party of 8 includes some teen-age boys and girls. Could we set up two tents, one for the boys and the other for the girls, at one campsite location.
A:
Possibly so, but it might be best to call the park directly and ask one of the staff.
