I know that the people with the farm across the street from the main parking lot (red barn) allow camping but I don't know if they would have opened for the season by then. Either way I believe it is $7 a person/per night and you would all have to sign a waiver. No reservations or anything but I doubt there will be many there in March. You do know the high is probably at most going to be in the forties and more than likely there will still be snow and ice on the ground? I don't know where your coming from, but I think there might be some more pleasant places to go climbing in March, try a more southerly latitude if you're looking for a roadtrip. If the farm across the way isn't open I know there are several campgrounds around, although I don't know if they'll be open. See the routes database info here: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...afton_County/Rumney/
You might also check out camping in the WMNF because I think you can do so for free if you're such and such feet from this, that, and the other thing. Don't quote me on that though. Do a little research.

$8 a person at the red house.. knock on the left side door before 8pm They are great people and have welcomed climbers in a town that doesn't always do so. No Pets.. no fires. don't screw him over and not pay. I'm pretty sure he only uses that money to pay for the porta potty and the gas to keep it mowed in the back
March is like anywhere that time of year.. it depends on the week. There are tons of walls that will be climbable and comfortable even when the temps are around 40.. the south facing walls soak up sun and are dry and line free. Yes bring a tarp in case of snow/ice. WATCH OUT for falling ice.. especially below Parking lot, Meadows and Waimea.. saw full pitch lines drop at parking lot last year and it was scary shit.
if you're flying or driving from a ways off then maybe south is better but if you're within a half day drive where you can scope out the weather before you leave than go for it.

It's about 4 miles.
The setup is very similar to the farm across the road: Small open area by the river. Except with showers!
