I understand. I have broken the "occupancy rules" many times in the Valley and there has never been a problem. We are usually out and about most of the day, quite and considerate during dinner time then most of us are off to bed before 10:00 pm. Unless someone complains about your behavior, I seriously doubt anyone cares. The campground hosts call it a day at around 5:00pm. The Ranger Vehicle patrols, after dark, are watching for the obnoxious party crowd, mondo campfires and obvious infractions. (yes, and bears behaving badly) The Rangers and NPS employees on foot (after dark) are mainly concerned with campfire restrictions (May thru September) and Bear Rule Compliance. If you don't find another site to share, I don't think they would ever throw 2 of you out. Perhaps someone else will chime in....
