No worries. I haven't been to Sheep Creek, but looking at Google Earth, it seems pretty comparable to the Grants Grove camp sites and if so, I'm with NA. It's a finite area with obvious roads, shouldn't be too much of a hassle to make a lap and find us.

Sheep Creek has about 1/2 the number of sites as Dorst has. Its not like anyone will get "lost" in the vacuous expanse of Sheep Creek.

I hope to get lost after camp is set up.

Found a site with an interesting description of the campgrounds:

Fast food?

Oooh, and here's someone's trip report with photos of the campground:

At the lodge I would assume.

Yes, the lodge has a restaurant as well as a store, laundry and showers.

So, why aren't we staying at the lodge?

And here's a picture of the board where a notice can be placed telling everyone what campsites to go to.

Because it's difficult to put up a tent in a hotel room.
