As I noted above in post number 4, bugs were not bad when I was there last year. But, based on what I am reading here from others, they may be worse than my experience.
When I go camping in places I expect to be buggy, I bring a mosquito netting pull-over jacket and pants. Where the netting touches my skin, the bugs can bite, but the netting holds the bugs further away from my skin in almost everywhere else. It is very lightweight and can pack down to small volume. I often wear it with shorts and short sleeve shirt in hot weather, as the hot weather is when the bugs are most active. It is surprising how effective it is.
It is quite loose to avoid touching your skin in too many places, thus it would not work while riding, the netting would likely get caught in the chain or other moving parts, but around the campsite it can be quite useful.
