A vehicle permit is required upon entering any Kansas State Park. It is preferable that permits are purchased at the entrance booth or at the office. However, if both are closed there are two self-pay stations at Crawford State Park where vehicle permits and camping permits can be purchased. One is located just inside the entrance to the park on the right (south) side. The second one is across from the camp host site in Rocky Cove Campground. Self-pay instructions are available at the stations. If you have any questions about how to fill out the needed information or need to know what you owe, ask a camp host or park ranger. Park maps and park rules as well as other information are available at the self-pay stations.
