Is there any hope of avoiding crowds in the great outdoors this weekend?
In particular, I'm wondering if all campsites are likely to be taken at
the below places arriving in the early evening on Saturday and Sunday.
Does anyone out there have experience with these areas on a busy holiday
weekend? Are any other good birding areas likely to be less crowded?

1) car camping in Okanogan in general areas of Lost Lake and Republic:
?likely to be especially crowded because of coincident Canadian holiday?

2) backpacking in Paysayten wilderness in general area of W. Fork
Paysayten R: ditto above?

3) car camping in general area of Trout Lake (w. Klickitat Co.)

Any advice appreciated; direct reply may be best to avoid cluttering the
list.
