[pct-l] ADZPCTKO Campsite Policy

[Bill Potter]

Greg, 

I want to make sure I'm understanding your message.

You are saying through hikers, with no notice of when we needed to register, and an incredibly short window to actually register, are going to be turned away from the the KO once you reach a magic number that we won't know until we get there? And then, maybe there will be another spot for us somewhere up the trail?

I'll survive without it but I was looking forward to it and really wanted the water safety course and bigfoots presentation since it appears I have PF and not heels that bruise really easy when I hike.

Am I reading that wrong?

Bill

Lake Morena, our host for the past 15 years, allows us to have only a limited number of campers at the KO.  In the past, we've had a general policy of finding a campsite for all aspiring thru-hikers, whether registered or walk-in. Last year, with increased demand, we overflowed and our gracious hosts were so kind as to ignore this one time.  This year we're facing the same issue, a full campground and no where to put walk-ins. Thus, if you walk-in to the KO expecting a place to camp, you need to revise this expectation.  When we reach full capacity, and we don't know when that will be with no-shows and cancellations, you will be turned away and directed to continue hiking up the trail to find a responsible campsite on the north side of the park. You are then welcome to walk back to the campground during the day and evening to enjoy the activities.  


Happy trails,
