The mosquitos will eat you alive in that alcove! And yes, you can expect the rangers each weekend. What defense would you have to fight a ticket? It's day use only, no over-night camping permitted unless you are 1 mile from the creek. Even then, I'm not sure that area of the forest is open to use. It might be only the trail that is open. When we hike in from Bowen Ranch, we are only allowed on the trail specifically. Everything else is still closed for rehabilitation from the fire.

PS Fires will also get you a ticket.
