I can't find campground reservations anywhere in the park for next weekend (21/22), can I sleep in my mini-van on a pullout somewhere inside the park? It's just a basic van, not like a sprinter van or something huge. If that's not chill, can you recommend a good zone for a night or two of ninja camping? I've done this at Crater Lake with no issue, just kept it low profile and moved my spot at dawn. Thanks very much for your advice!

Has anyone camped at Butte Lake since the alert went out that the campground flush restrooms do not have water and are being repaired? Are the day use area flush restrooms also affected? How have the vault toilets been (crowded and gross?)? We are camping there this Wed-Sun to watch the Perseids meteor shower and are a bit concerned that there are only a few vault toilets for a campground of this size during peak season.

We emailed nps asking about the water situation. They said the spigots still have potable water, but we haven't heard back about the status of the repair or the day use area restrooms.

Thanks everyone for your help and observations:)
