Backcountry Camping

Backcountry campsites are available on the Hermit, Sir Donald, Beaver River, Copperstain and Bald Mountain/Caribou Pass trails. Each has tent pads and food storage poles or lockers to place food out of reach of bears. Open fires are not permitted in the backcountry. Backcountry campers require a Wilderness Pass along with their Park Pass. The Wilderness Pass is available at $9.80/person/night, or $68.70/person/year.
