There is a maximum of two vehicles per campsite and I believe six or eight people. It seems they’ve been lax about this rule in the past, but are going to start enforcing it later this year. We were there in July and I saw signs posted that said until September they would be giving warnings about excessive people or vehicles in campsites and after that they were going to be enforcing the rules. Because they are becoming stricter with the rules I would either look up the restrictions on the website or call and speak with the Ranger.
