At most state parks I have been to they have gates. When campgrounds are closed the gates are closed and locked. If the gates are open, even if water is shut off to showerhouses and FHU sites etc the campground is still open, even if booths and contact stations are not manned.
Usually they have a self service honor system box for payment and registration somewhere.
Here in PA some state park campgrounds are open all year, mostly in the eastern part of the state. Elsewhere, where we get the real snow, they all close third weekend of Oct with some closing Mid Dec after the main deer season. None I know of allow you in after closing and I have never seen one in any other state that did so either when closed. With state DNRs involved I find it hard to believe theyll let you in when closed.
