In preparation for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse that is going to cross the US, we decided to put together a data about State Park camping for the eclipse in US states that have 90% or greater viewing for their state parks. As the table below, the following is the breakdown for what we found, as this is all original research.
The list of state parks is sorted by how early one can reserve spots, and then alphabetical order of state.
