There's room to spread out at a campsite at Hetch Hetchy in the Yosemite National Park area. But whereas Yosemite gets 3 million visitors a year, Hetch Hetchy gets about 50,000. It actually feels like a national park should," says a ranger at Hetch Hetchy. "Its for people who are looking for something different. It is a place to hike and backpack. We actually get more backpackers than we do cars."
