I hate Camp 4...it's a pig sty in my opinion. Bathrooms are filthy, bear lockers are full of garbage from the last however many hundred people have slummed through without cleaning up after themselves, and there's always some doofus who thinks I want to listen to their crappy mandolin music until midnight or later. Maybe there are spots available if you want to wait in line at daybreak...but its not even an option anymore for me.
