I am planning a four day RT tour at the beginning of July since I have a few days off but this is at the beginning of July from the 3rd to the 6th. The situation is that the place I want to go is a very high populated area for tourists, which I do not mind but camping is going to be tough. I called campgrounds and due to the nature of the tourist area, the fees are high, around $50 for one night in a primitive tent area. Thats seems a bit high for me. I have contacted folks in the area from Warm Showers and waiting for their response. My next option is to stealth camp but a bit of me is nervous about this because it is high peak season for tourists. I do not want to pay the $50 plus at a camp ground either. The reason I am going there is because I've always wanted to tour to the coast from my front door and I have a friend who runs a restaurant there that I would like to visit (which I might be able to camp behind their place... we will see).

Seems like my options are grim.
