Appalachian National Scenic Trail - Permits

Camping and Hiking

Details

No fees or permits are required for walking on the Appalachian Trail, and most shelters and campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the A.T. passes through numerous state and national parks, forests and public lands, a few of which require permits, fees and/or reservations to stay overnight in shelters or campsites.
