Thanks for the info. If we are driving in friday at 8 do u think there is a chance that the portal would still have spot for a tent? I was planning to do horseshoe meadows but it might be better just to go to the portal and hang out there so that we can secure a spot if you think there would be something available.

Is there a number that I can call for the whitney portal campground information that anyone is aware of?

Thanks so much for the help!
