Once you're in, you can camp in a special area for hikers/bikers at the campgrounds. Don't use campgrounds at the ends of the park; they are bustling with noisy children and RV nomads. Do day hikes off Going to the Sun Road. Don't miss the Garden Wall-to-The Loop walk.
Don't do what is recommended here. The National Parks need the money from the fees and the fees are not that high. Pay your dues and enjoy the park. I buy an annual pass good for all national parks and monuments every year. If you travel to a lot of parks, it is a good deal and it helps the parks.
