What are the rules and regulations for camping?
There are 30 developed campgrounds scattered throughout the Cherokee NF where fees are required. Most campsites are available on first-come, first-served basis. Because of high demand of campsites “holding” a space for someone else is not permitted. Campsites must be occupied the first night and once every 24 hours there after. For those who wish to get away from it all, dispersed camping outside of developed campgrounds is permitted at no charge — permits are not required. Camping in this manner is limited to 14 days and the site must be occupied once every 24 hours.
