So this morning was the mad scramble for reservations for early August. While ready to go at the bell at 7:00am sharp, having not done it before I was little slow on the gun and wasn't able to get the full 3 nights I wanted, only the first two nights (the third being a Friday night). So, here's my question: Since half the campground is first-come-first-serve, once I arrive, check in and secure my campsite, what is the procedure for extending for the third night? Can I do it when I arrive? Do I have to get up really early in the morning and stand in line with everyone on the third day to try to extend my site or get another site (of course would prefer not to have to move, as we have a tent)? Any insight or strategy appreciated.
Also, I prefer a tent-only site, but my slowness on the reservation led me to only being able to get a site that accommodates a trailer/RV because the tent-only sites were snatched before I could get one. Will the rangers let me take a tent-only site when I arrive or will I have to go to a trailer site per my reservation?
Thanks!
