I am planning a trip to Foster Falls Mar 8-11 and had a few questions about the camping there:
1) I know the campground is closed "for the winter" "until mid-march" and will "[re-]open in the spring." That's great, but it doesn't tell me much. Does anyone know the specific day that the campground will re-open?
2) Assuming the campground is not open, I have read that there are some primitive sites along the trail to the crag. Are these a feasible option for a 3-night stay? I have read that they do not have water. Are they near enough to the falls/creek that water is convenient to come by and purify? (I don't really want to count on the creek for a water supply if it's in a gorge i can't get down into 2 miles away from the campsite.)
3) I have also read plenty of warnings about cars being broken into. Any thoughts about the likelihood of being broken into in the middle of march?

I'm not sure when the regular campground reopens so I can't help you on that. As far as the primitive sites, these are also known as the Father Adamz campsites. No water there but you're about 7-10 minutes from the main parking lot that has a regular bathroom (no showers) and running water. This would be a better option than trying to filter IMO.
I've personally never had stuff stolen at Fosters so I wouldn't make that a deal breaker. I would just use common sense.
Hope that helps.

The stream is pretty prevelent along the first half of the trail so water probably shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure about the campsites. But... T-wall isn't too far away and the campsites there are pretty nice and close to the river. Great climbing too!
