National Park is a permanent designation for public use and enjoyment.

Hmmm ... I always considered National Monuments as places for mostly "day trips" where one can visit ... but not camp/stay overnight

National Parks as places that also include campsites/camgrounds so visitors could camp for one or more days.
Am I wrong? i.e. Do some National Monuments include camping areas?
