The gate to accessing Niagara Rim was just opened last Thursday, and not many were aware it was open yet. Plus, we were there very late on Sunday, after most people had left the area.

We did encounter a small group of heavily-modified trailer-queen 'Zukis and Jeeps there, though.

For camping, there are basically two options:
1) Camp at the developed campground.
2) Camp remotely on the trail

Option 1 may require someone to arrive early to get a good campsite and pay the fee. The campground itself may be crowded, as there are only 12 sites.

Casper- how early were you thinking? I have Friday off work, so I could potentially leave Thursday night or Friday morning to get the best site, but Connie would have to come up later.

Option 2 means nobody needs to get there early to get a campsite, and there's no fee, either. we'd have to provide for all of our needs, including potty facilities. I can bring my portable PETT toilet, which affords no more privacy than squatting near a bush, but is much more sanitary.
