Hey michaelo, Jenn, Bear, and anyone else, I need some help. My wife, Ani, will be out of the country for 3 weeks. In her absence, my job is to figure out the best strategy for summer camping on the OP. From what I have read, most of the national and state park campgrounds are first-come-first-serve and they fill up during the good weather months. There are some private RV parks that look ok, but we prefer public campgrounds, when possible. I'll be doing a recon mission soon, so any tips you have would be appreciated.
I'm thinking it best to go during the week, getting to a campground early in the day. A ranger somewhere told me to show up around 9:30am and be ready to pull in when someone leaves. Is it really that bad? We're not early risers and we like to explore along the way, so we usually don't make it to a campground until mid-afternoon. Is that too late? It looks like there are a lot of small campgrounds. If your first choice isn't available, can you usually find a backup in the area?
We'd like to see as much of the Peninsula as possible over the summer. Do you have any must-see recommendations or strategies for getting into good spots? Thanks.
