A backcountry campsite refers to a remote, primitive site typically located far from developed or maintained campgrounds. These campsites are situated in wilderness areas, often requiring hikers, backpackers, or other outdoor enthusiasts to hike or travel significant distances to access them. Here are some defining features of backcountry campsites: As of February 2013, Great Smoky Mountains National Park requires a permit and advance reservations for all backcountry camping in the park. Before planning your backcountry trip, please read through important information about reservations and permits, regulations, bear safety, trail closures, and on our backcountry camping page.
