DESIGNATED CAMPING IN EFFECT DURING HUNTING SEASON



Camping for all users of the SHNF is restricted to designated campsites
 from September 26, 2026 through January 24, 2027 (one week before the start of archery season and one week after the end of youth/muzzleloading season). During hunting season wear orange in the National Forest for safety and camp only in designated camps. The designated hiker camps are conveniently located and may be used throughout the year. The hiker camps are primitive (although some may have fire rings, tent pads or benches).

A USFS Designated Camping Map (2020) shows all the designated camping areas that must be used during this period:  Developed Campsites, Hunter Camps, and Primitive Hiker Camps.
