I was also in this area without a plan and also found the campgrounds to be full as well. I ended up keeping my eye out for one of the many logging cutoff roads as I was driving. Most are very overgrown and difficult to get into but I found one that had been started but never finished cut right out of the thick of a forest (they must have been getting ready to harvest). I tucked the truck back into it and camped the night. It was a bit unnerving at first, not sure if someone would hassle me but I was far enough back that by nightfall, anyone driving by would have never known I was there.
I can't wait to visit this area again but for an extended period. Lot's to see and do, just not enough time to do it!
