Reservations
Big South Fork Backcountry and Developed Site Reservations
Campsites at Bandy Creek and Blue Heron require reservations which should be made via official federal portals months in advance for autumn foliage peaks. Backcountry camping requires a separate, straightforward permit system for specific site selection and waste management. Always verify the current permit portal before arrival, as systems for the Tennessee and Kentucky sections may vary.
