There are 2 abandoned sites around the amphitheatre that I know of that were offer for overnight stays for those providing entertainment at the amphitheatre. Maybe they are still used... not sure.

Any ideas on the 3 missing sites?

Dave,

I think there are more at the end by the day use area. If memory serves, there are 3 or 4 of the W sites, or used to be.
