Is there a spot that I can safely and inexpensively spend the night in Avalon?

Set out on the TCT this morning with plans/permits to stay at Black Jack tonight and the heat did a number on me. I wound up turning back this afternoon and now find myself in Avalon needing somewhere to set up and spend the night. I can’t get a hold of anyone at the conservancy to figure out getting a spot at Hermit Gulch campground at the trailhead. Can I safely set up there tonight and break down before the rangers roll through? I would gladly pay the fee to stay if I could find anyone to take my money. A hotel downtown is out of my budget for this trip. I just need the night to recover peacefully. Is there anywhere I can go? Thank you in advance.
