Can anyone chime in on how likely I would be able to get two camp sites if I just showed up early Friday morning (around 8:00) in March and tried to claim a couple first come first serve sites? I'm not counting on getting a site at HV, but I'd like to be somewhere close to Indian Cove -- maybe Ryan campground? Should I be worried about showing up on a Friday morning and not getting a site?

If I were you I would just show up, you will find something if you are lucky, you can also try sharing with someone else, we do that all the time, works well.

I've done the whole sharing at the last moment kind of thing, but I can't really do that this trip. It's going to be about 20 of us so I think sharing with randoms would be not be practical.

You can reserve a site @ indian cove www.nps.gov or if you show up first thing Friday am you have pretty good odds for Ryan.

If your group contains 20 people, you'll probably need more than two campsites. The two car per campsite rule is enforced. Ryan campground is relatively small, and you may not find enough sites for your whole group there on a Friday morning.
Jumbo Rock is your best bet for first come first serve sites. That campground is much biger. In addition, it's closer to Indian Cove than Ryan.
Have a blast!!! Bring a lot more firewood than you think you'll need...

depends on when in march- if its during the spring break season, could be rough. otherwise, probably not. earlier in march is better.
not sure why you want to be close to Indian Cove- i just do not see the appeal of that place, but whatever.
You might try reserving a group site at Sheeps Pass- they have a 5 car limit on their sites, but you can accomodate up to 40 people, i think. sites are cool, campground is groups only.

I would just show up on friday, most people don't get to IC until later on in the day and just because you have 20 people there should be adequate room even if you guys spread out, it's also better that way because then you can cover more climbs and have a place to put your stuff, thats just me though |
