Description:
Primitive camping is allowed on NF land away from developed campgrounds and anywhere that your camping equipment and/or vehicle do not block developed trails or road rights-of-way. Camping is also NOT allowed within designated Special Areas, within 100 yards of Grubb Ridge Trail Head and Blackwell Pond, or at the Hickory Ridge Fire Tower site. Bring enough drinking water for the duration of your stay. Leave a clean campsite by packing out all refuse. There is no charge for primitive camping, although a 14-day limitation is in effect. In the Deam Wilderness, group size is limited to 10 people. In other parts of the Forest, groups larger than 25 people require a permit. It is not necessary to check in with Forest Service.Source:http://www.perrycountyindiana.org/hoosiernationalforest/visitors.cfmForest Supervisor's Office and Brownstown Ranger District Office Hoosier National Forest 811 Constitution Avenue Bedford, IN 47421 1-812-275-5987 TDD 1-812-279-3423Tell City Ranger District Office 248 15th Street Tell City, IN 47586 1-812-547-7051 TDD 1-812-547-6144
