This is such a beautiful area! Definitely worth the drive. We took the advice of others and went early in the day, and we were really glad we did. It can get really busy, it seems, as the day goes… Full review by 4Bug-a-Boos

Camping permits? I would like to go there with one friend but there is actually just one permit remaining on the date we want to go. It would just be one tent. Would it be fine (we would like to buy two permits but cannot) or do we really need two permits?

If you have one tent then you should only require 1 permit, since you will only be using one camping space with one tent. Enjoy your camping.
