A permit is required for all overnight camping in the park. Backcountry camping is only permitted in the nine developed campgrounds along the Chilkoot Trail. Front-country camping is available at the Dyea campground near the Chilkoot trailhead.

When planning your hike, make sure to choose which campgrounds you wish to use. As part of your Chilkoot Trail reservation you will need to select your campgrounds to complete the permit process.
