Fire ban for backcountry campfires is lifted effective Thursday, Nov. 6th. However, the fire ban will remain due to lack of water at Sassafrass Hill and Grindstone Gap campsites. MAKE SURE TO COMPLETELY DROWN YOUR FIRE WHEN DONE!
​

We opened 4 new backcountry campsites in May 2024. All are on the 2024 map.
 See SITE DESCRIPTIONS on this website for details.
​Note: Only ONE permit will be issued for each of the 21 backcountry campsites for an individual/group (thus, you will not have to share a site). 
​Reservations on-line a must (see Permits and Backpacking on the PMT on this website)  ​
