The lighting has decreased over the years. Visitors will enter via the back gate and make the about 3/4 mile route stopping where they can. Weekends and the week of Christmas will be the most traffic. Near the Carillon tower will be a bon Fire, marshmallow roasting etc along with some demonstrations. The traffic should not enter the campground so you won’t see many outsiders. We used to make a week every year during the Christmas light times but since the reduced lighting, we have passed. Reservations are totally booked up by 1 hour after 11 months window.
