If you're talking about the Lyre River Park, the area near the mouth of the river, I was camping there between Xmas and New Year's. At least at that time, drive in fishermen were welcomed, and there were plenty. The sign at the office said $7 per day. Maybe something weird has happened just in the last week.

From what I understand, there is no "owner" any longer. Jim, the original owner, sold it to a management company a few years back. The company has a manager live onsite. The current guy is Tim, who began in March, and he was pretty cool when we were there.
