At 11 a second site seems a good idea, if we can get one. In the past,
we've gotten 2 sites (adjacent) and usually had 12-15 campers.
Locks: I always carry a lock for such situations. As David points out, we
can lash several together. Few thieves can lift 3-4 Rivendells at once.
Tent:
I'd think we'd make nice with the Rangers if we had two sites. I'm not sure
about San Mateo but some State Campgrounds are picky about that.
Of course we can just wing it if there are empty sites and pay for an extra
