hi all,
i want to camp at various state forests, such as bosque estatal de toro negro, along the ruta panoramica...to camp, i have to get permits from the department of natural resources (drna)...their website is in spanish and doesn't have a translate feature...i've not been able to get through by phone to anyone in the drna (it just rings several times then disconnects!)...so, does anyone know how i can get camping permits from drna?...on their site i see applications for camping but surely it can't be so burdensome that i would have to snail-mail them an application specifying certain dates and providing payment, etc., and then wait for permits to arrive in the mail...i don't have time for that....besides, i'm not sure which dates i'll want to camp...ideally, i'd like to drive into a forest, pay a camping fee and set up my tent but everything i've read tells me you can't just drive in and get a permit...if anyone here understands the permit process please fill me in...also, if you are knowledgeable about this process and are willing to talk about it for for a few minutes i could give you a call...send your number in a message to me at [email protected]
