I wish I had stated until sunset. I hear it is magical! Is overnight camping allowed? Maybe I should go back.

yes, there is overnight camping allowed in one area of the park. if you go to the main visitor center, you have to get a permit to be able to do it. i think it's free or like $10. there are 4ish "campsites" (although they're just that by name as there's nothing back there) and you must hike back .5 or more miles to reach the designated camping spots. very worth it!!
here are the details. my memory was a little off, but the hike really isn't bad. we weren't really prepared (meaning we didn't have our backpacks and light camping gear, only a bulky tent, etc), but it was fine because it was such a short hike to the spot.
Thank you!
