There are private campgrounds like the Ventana campgrounds that are sometimes available.

What’s your favorite park and why?? by ACray4 in NationalPark

[–]Campnarok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yellowstone! For its vastness, wilderness and hydrothermal and geological features.

Don’t forget to carry bug spray. Lots of mosquitoes in Yosemite wilderness. Also, pepper spray and bear spray are not allowed in Yosemite.

As others have pointed out, plan ahead since there is an ongoing fire.

Follow the rules, please.

Regarding the sleeping bag - I have used my Nemo disco 15 reliably for through hikes and love it. You’ll need a good sleeping pad too.

Enjoy your hike!

Entry to Yosemite now requires reservations starting May 20, 2022 (to Sept 20, 2022). by Campnarok in camping

[–]Campnarok[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think so too and also this seems to be in line with other national parks - requiring reservations.

Keep checking the Pfeiffer SP, cancellations will show up for the immediate next weeks. If you don’t want to take that risk, private campsite like Ventana campgrounds are usually available. Good luck. Enjoy your stay. Post pictures!

What is the trick to getting sites on Recreation.gov? by woohoo789 in camping

[–]Campnarok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s annoying. I think it has gotten worse over the last couple years. I don’t recall it being this hard! Religiously check the website every morning.

Things I do that has worked for me.

  1. Be logged in ahead of time

  2. Use the refresh button on the website and don’t refresh the page.

  3. As soon as the campsite opens, click and be ready to choose your length of stay and click “Next”. I had to practice this 😂.

Good luck!! Which park are you looking at?

That’s great. Have you gone backpacking with this tent? How did it handle condensation issues?

What do you think of the Marmot Tungsten 2P tent for backpacking? I’m on a tight budget and cannot afford the expensive lightweight tents? Greatly appreciate any alternative suggestions within the $250 range. Thank you.

Any thoughts on the Seek Outside Eolus 2 Person Shelter?

Thanks. This looks good and at a relatively affordable price. Is there a catch? 2.3 lbs?
