I love the High Sierra Camp experience in Yosemite so I was trying to think of other national parks that might have something similar. I can think of Bear Paw Meadows in Sequoia and Phantom Ranch at the Grand Canyon.
Anywhere else?

I also have some specific recommendations. The back country camps - like at Bearpaw or Vogelsang (I know that's Yosemite) - are an abomination. They are horrible. I have had to hike through these areas to get to somewhere else. Bearpaw, in particular is dusty, over-used, trashed. The area is spectacular. Nine Lakes basins and the Kaweah basin are some of the best areas to visit. To get there you have to walk by (and camp) at Bearpaw.

I think one of the biggest issues in all of our wilderness use discussions is exactly this: how do you keep the wilderness as pure as possible, and still make sure you have enough opportunities for lots of different people and uses---because if only a tiny segment of the population values these areas, they will fall under attach...and we won't have the votes to stop it.
Not an easy dilemma to resolve,
