Practically it is a no-hookup campground at $30 a night in summer: no water, electric or sewer at the site, but a seasonal dump station, potable water, flush toilets and hot showers for registered campers, including two accessible stalls in Loop A. NPS lists 18 parking spaces up to 35 feet and another 62 up to 27 feet, and the exact Recreation.gov record controls. Reservations run through Recreation.gov on a six-month rolling window plus a four-day short-term release; the season is typically mid-May to early September. Loop C is generator-free. Two trade-offs: cell service is essentially nonexistent, and Going-to-the-Sun Road bars vehicles over 21 feet between Avalanche and Sun Point, so drive it in the tow vehicle.
