About

All camping requires a permit. You can get a camping permit on a first-come, first-served basis. You can learn more about the reservation process by visiting the page. The season starts on January 5, 2022. All reservations are processed in real-time. The fee for each reservation is per trip, not per person, so please establish an account on recreation.gov prior to the advance reservation season. The sites are reserved in advance for walk-in permits. A $35 fee will be charged for walk-in permits.
