Hancocks campground

[B the Hiker]

Does Hancocks fill this time of year? I wouldn't be able to get there Saturday night until probably 6:30-7ish, and am worried of showing up only to discover the place is full.

Thanks!

Holiday And School Vacation Week. Lot’s of folks playing in the woods. I wouldn’t count on finding a spot. Especially on a Saturday night.

I've been there several times this winter. You may be able to find a spot in the beginning of the circle where there's no open outhouse. The back side has been quite busy. There are also the walk-in sites that may have availability.

Are outhouses even open? Thanks to Covid restrictions many camp grounds and public outhouses are closed. We found that out at Mead Base campsites by Mount Israel. No idea how or what people are supposed to do with sanitation. Carry in - Carry out??? Camp grounds may be closed for that reason. Check with forest service before going.

"Are outhouses even open?"

At least one at Hancock has been open all winter. There may be two open.

I pulled in on Saturday night around 7:30, and the very first campsite was open, as were the outhouses. Quite convenient!
