They do close at dark but I'm pretty sure you can leave your truck and trailer there overnight. You just can't load up and leave the park once they are closed. You'll have to wait until morning. We used to stay out overnight and leave our chit there just about every weekend a couple of years ago.
Another alternative.....

The road getting there after you turn from rt1 is narrow and winding, but the ramp is nice. We launch a 38' there all the time.
