Family Campout

I checked on the dates for the Manti Pageant and of course it was June 16-18 and June 21-25. Since we decided we didn't want to hassle with the pageant if we were going to Palisades State Park, I contacted the state park reservation department regarding our alternate dates of June 9-11. Unfortunately, the group site was already taken. I remember, from having been there before, three sites that are close to each other with a field in between and asked about those (sites 14, 15, & 16 or 3, 4, & 22). The individual sites cannot be reserved until February 17th at 8:00 a.m. The reservation agent recommended I call right at 8:00 a.m. as that is the first day the reservation system is open for a variety of state parks.

So, my question is this (since we have more time to figure it out): Do we want to keep the original weekend (June 23-25) and find a different location, or still pursue the 9-11th at Palisades? Comments, please.
