A free backcountry camping permit is required to camp in Shenandoah's backcountry. A permit can be filled out at this self-registration kiosk, located along the Appalachian Trail at the northern end of Shenandoah National Park. Note that this kiosk is not accessible by vehicle. Please follow the directions at the kiosk, and be sure to fill out your permit completely. In order to so, you will need to know your full itinerary prior to registering.
Backcountry camping is a wilder, more primitive experience than staying in a campground and requires planning and appropriate equipment. Visit our website for information to help you plan your backcountry trip.
