Camping
Overview
On the Long Cane and Enoree ranger districts camping is allowed only in developed campgrounds and in designated primitive sites. Individuals desiring to camp outside these areas may apply for a free permit from the local district office.This policy, developed in the early 1970s, reduces conflicts and provides greater safety during the hunting seasons and reduces littering.
On the Andrew Pickens Ranger District, camping is allowed in developed campgrounds, in designated primitive sites and in the general forest when further than 50 feet from a trail or stream and 1/4 mile from a road.
Groups of fewer than 75 people may camp in a campground. Groups of more than 75 require a special-use permit in either a campground or undesignated area. Groups of any size camping in undesignated areas will need a permit.
Campfire permits are not required. However, please check with the local district office about fire conditions.
