Though was more of a formality back in 95 where you could tick the whole area on the days permit and no limit on people or cars.
1998 the restrictions were for no more than 100 cars in the park.
Just checked now and see it is far more restrictive again with only 70 people allowed on North Mountain unguided and all other areas requiring a booked guide! If camping you aren't allowed after the gate is locked unless there is an emergency, where back in 95 we were given the combination and could come and go as we pleased!
