Adorable, but I see nothing that indicates you can camp here

This park is cute. It's well located to downtown into the trail that takes you over to the tall grass preserve. But I see nothing that indicates you can camp here. I would camp here if when we're allowed. There is a basically up portable toilet. Some tables some trash and great displays in the falls, but I literally see nothing that indicates you can camp here.
