We were just there earlier this month, too, and also ran into the road construction on the west side. We were fortunate to get stopped right at the parking lot for one of the viewpoints, so pulled off and took pictures until the pilot car returned.
Since we were there after Labor Day, some of the trails, etc were closed for the season.
We didn't stay at the campground run by the park concessionaire, but instead camped at Diamond Lake campground, which is just four miles from the north entrance to the park. It is a fairly typical Forest Service facility, but there are hot showers and flush toilets, along with conveniently located water hydrants. The lake is quite nice, and your kids could swim or fish. Loop M is the one we stayed in. The space right up the way from ours was a nice pull through. I believe that they take reservations, but you might want to check on that if you are interested.
Sorry about the large photo. I've tried twice to resize it, but for some reason it isn't working today.
