I'm close to finalizing the plan for my CT thru hike and there is one very minor loose end. I plan to pick up a resupply package at the Molas Lake Campground and I had planned to stay there for the night on a walk-in basis. However, it looks likely that I will be passing through that area during Labor Day weekend so my guess is that staying there on a walk-in basis is not going to be an option. I assume that I can pick up a resupply package there even if I'm not staying and that I will be allowed to pay for a shower. Within the vicinity of the campground on the CT, are there places where I can camp for the night? Other than Molas Lake Campground and Little Molas Lake campground (which is probably also going to be full), I see no reference to camping in that immediate area in the CT guidebook or data book. My plan is to end the day close to that area.
I realize that I could opt for hitching into Silverton rather than picking up a mail drop at Molas Lake Campground but since it is likely that this will be Labor Day weekend, I'd rather not deal with full motels and high prices if possible.
