As I said in another recent post I do not attempt to camp at SP or Fed parks or forest campgrounds during the three month vacation period but instead wait until wonderful September to roll in.
Just completed over two weeks great camping and fishing at two California SPs in May. July and August are too hot for me anyway and during vacation everything, everywhere is jammed up/crowded with way too many campers at the state and Fed parks. This would be a miserable experience for me with large family and other groups occupying sites next to me. No piece and quite.
During this time I camp if weather permitting at more remote undeveloped campgrounds in the national forest or BLM lands where I can find glorious piece and quiet. Even these places are sometimes crowded up with the noisy off road vehicle crowds. I do just fine rest of the year. Time marches on.
