By late June it was starting to get busier, but the campground we were in usually had a lot of room, I think that the hiker biker sites we were in were usually no more than 25 percent full. Sometimes, we were the only people in the hiker biker site.

We really wanted to avoid the crowds you get after July 4 to Labor Day.
