 NOTE: The 3 public campgrounds (Gansner Bar, North Fork , and Queen Lily) on Caribou Road DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS

sounds like a great outing, hope i can make it.

Can you dry camp in this area, not up on campgrounds with stores and restraunts. If not which campground are people going to camp? I would be going up friday since this is going to be a long haul.

marq,

check out my pics in the photo gallery from last october. there are plenty of dry camping spots.

sourdough joe

There are several october photos with no detail of where they are at.

Ok I missed those two pictures in the Oct 6 outing which I think is what you are talking about. So are those pictures of camping on the actual claim?
