How many tents per campsite in US national parks? - Crop faceless grower in garden gloves demonstrating heap of paper money with photo of unrecognizable person and numbers near growing lush grass

I'm planning to stay at the Dorst Creek Campground at Sequoia National Park 2 weeks from now. I made a reservation (through www.recreation.gov) for a campsite.

The offical site says that six people per campsite is allowed. I have six people in my party... that's 3 couples, so we may have as many as 3 tents. And each of those tents may be a 4-person-sized tent, like this one. Is this ok? Is there a limit to how many tents there can be at a campsite?

I haven't been camping in 20 years or so, so color me a camping newbie. For what it's worth, I reserved a "standard nonelectric" site, which means it's suitable for both tents and RVs.
