b. number of state parks campers have visited
c. average length of overnight camping trips in state parks

Explanation:

The department wants to accommodate overnight campers. The number of overnight campers per park (Option A) directly relates to the demand for overnight camping amenities. Options B (number of state - park campers visited) doesn't specify overnight. Options C (average length of overnight camping trips) and D (average length of stay per camper per year) are about duration, not the number of campers which is crucial for providing amenities.
