Nevertheless, it would probably be nice to have some bicycle signs around seeing as thousands of cyclists ride through there every year.

And as for campsites, they are on the map, so you can judge how far you want to go. And if you happen to end up between campsites and darkness is coming on ... a little hint ... call the park rangers. That was part of the "they were falling all over themselves to help us" bit I mentioned above.
