Question

Do I need a permit to camp in national forest?

Answer 1

Some places may require a camping permit to camp in a national forest while other places ma not.

I've camped in a few national forests with my small travel trailer and stayed for a couple weeks and no one bothered me about it.

When camping in a national forest you must move at least 5 miles after 16 days to another camp area in the national forest.

I do know though that if a group of over 75 people wishes to use a national forest to camp then they must obtain a special use permit which is free to get.

Answer 2

of course you need!
