At St. Mary Campground in Glacier National Park we had 8 people in one site.
Ty & I biked out of Devil's Lake State Park in Lincoln City last fall and the hiker/biker sites were full of homeless people. The ranger let us camp in a regular spot for the same rate as the hiker/biker rate ($6/night instead of $18/night). It was mid week and it wasn't very busy. But the homeless folk were messy and they were having issues with raccoons because of them. I believe you're only allowed to stay in any one campground for 14 nights in a 30 day period though here right?
