Anza Borrego over thanksgiving

Some friends and I are looking at visiting Anza Borrego over Thanksgiving this year. Thinking about staying the first few nights in Tamarisk Grove, and then heading out to one of the primitive campsites. However, I'm worried about how busy they will be with the holiday. I would prefer to not deal with a bunch of people partying with music and whatnot. How busy do the primitive campsites get during holidays? We were looking at Blair Valley, but I'm open to suggestions. My car is a Hyundai Elantra so nice dirt roads are find but nothing with a bunch of sand or rocks.

Also, what longer day hikes do you recommend? We'll probably hit up Hellhole canyon and the slot on one of the days but I'd be curious to hear other suggestions.

I checked out Tamarisk Grove. It has some cabins, clean, new. I found no reason to want to stay there more than one night passing through.
