This is my first post and I have scanned the forum looking for an answer to this question before asking. Please feel free to redirect me if I missed this somehow:
My wife and I are camping in the Valley in June but we were only able to get campsites on opposite sides of a weekend 3 nights on one side and 3 on the other with a gap of 3 nights (thurs, fri, sat) in between. The question is, if we manage to snag a cancellation for the 3 nights in between we would have reserved for more than our 7 night limit in the valley, but presumably we would be staying in (at least) 3 different sites and possibly more than one campground.
Does anyone know how the 7 night limit is enforced? One set of reservations is in her name and one is in mine, but I don't know if that makes a difference. Having 9 nights in the valley would be a real luxury, but we don't want to have a ranger come kick us out part way through our trip!
I have a friend who mentioned that she spent almost two months camping at Tuolumne without anyone kicking her out, but I think that she was sharing sites for some of those nights.
