Hey, have three nights at Gunsight, then a night at Sperry in the first week in September. My hope that picking up our permit on Saturday and having three nights later in the week at Gunsight will allow us the ability to swap out for Lake Ellen Wilson and a night at the Sperry Campground. Hoping that having Gunsight further along in the itinerary will allow the ability to grab the walk-ups unless someone has a longer itinerary that we do...FuzzySideDown wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:15 am Probably a good call grabbing something. . There will still be walkups available plus it’s amazing how things change as time goes too.
We ended up only grabbing 1 night at Gunsight Lake from our time slot for our group, although we are tacking it onto 3 nights at Sperry it’s still a win.
Good luck with your time slot!
Interesting as you must have had a very popular time slot for your group as having a March 30th was much sooner that our April 19th. I spent the first few weeks looking at September and campsite holding tight, but then as other popular areas filled up, then the Gunsight, Lake Ellen Wilson, and Sperry Campgrounds started to disappear, but it took up until part way through April. I am really going after Labor Day and in the middle of the week which helped.FuzzySideDown wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:15 am Probably a good call grabbing something. .

Ahh right on. We are going right on Labor Day I think… which made it pretty busy, plus we needed 2 sites to keep our awesome group together which probably made it a little more tricky. Then we’ll be at Sperry Chalet sept 3,4,5 I believe… if you are near there then, give us a shout.NotAllAreLost wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 5:25 pm

Our plan currently Granite Park Chalet on Sept 1st, Reynolds Creek Sept 2nd, GUN 3, 4, 5, then Sperry Chalet Sept 6th. If we are able to swap out GUN for ELL on the 4th, and Sperry on the 5th (or vice versa), will most likely meet up with you at Sperry. We are also going to try to get GRN campground as a walk up on Aug 30th if possible when we pick up our permit. If not, camping at Avalanche the night before heading to Granite Park Chalet on Sunday.FuzzySideDown wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:23 pm
