I'm planning a hammock camping trip with my sisters this weekend - there will be 4 of us total. Wondering if anyone knows which of the backpack sites could accommodate all of us? Any info would be much appreciated!

Afton State Park has good and fairly easy backpack sites.

I have stayed at both BP3 and BP2 if you are backpacking in. However they have lots of Backpacking sites to choose from.
If all four of you are hanging I recommend BP2 as there will be more options for space and you will be out of the wind a little more. It is not as open though and the outhouse is a little walk away as it is shared with the BP1 site.
BP3 has one really good hanging spot and the outhouse is a lot closer which is a plus. You can find trees to hang from, just not right in the campsite like BP2. If you are the only hanger and they have tents I recommend this site.
I have hiked through B1, B4, and B5 but never camped. Plenty of trees for a hammock or two. Four hammocks I am unsure of though. Also the areas for tents are well laid out. Have a fun weekend. Lake Maria is a nice spot outside of the cities.
And Shug is correct, Afton is a great place and a good place to shake out new gear.
Thanks everyone! We ended up going to Afton State Park - the hike into the campground was a bit treacherous due to the icy hills, and it was really quite wet and cold at camp until I got into my dry, warm hammock - but it was so fun in the end!! As Shug would say - Whoooo buddy!
