I didn't visit any national parking lots, but I did get some nice secluded camping on national forest land. Then we used our national parks pass to go visit Colorado Nat'l Monument, which was slightly crowded but also not overwhelmed. We then drove up a snowy road and found some nice camping at snowline the next day.
It was a little higher volume than usual, but since we're not casuals we were able to explore a little further than the normies do and had a nice chilled out weekend.
