Permits may only be picked up the day before, or the day of entry. Permits are not transferable. Since there are a limited number of quota permits available for each entry, reservations are highly recommended. Quota permits can only be issued by Forest Service issuing stations or by designated issuing stations.

NON-QUOTA SELF-ISSUING PERMITS: Non-quota or self-issued permits are required year-round for all overnight visitors entering the BWCAW between October 1 and April 30. The self-issuing permit forms are available by mail, at any Superior National Forest office, and at the main BWCAW entry points. Although formal reservations are not required, visitors need to follow the self-issuing permit instructions, complete the form and carry the permit throughout the duration of their trip.

Overnight User Fee

A fee is charged for camping in the Boundary Waters. Adults are charged $16 per person per trip. Youths under 18 and Golden Age or Golden Access Passport holders are charged $8 per person per trip. For visitors who plan to use the BWCAW more than four times during the same summer, seasonal fee cards may be obtained at a cost of $64 per adult or $32 for youth and Golden Age or Golden Access Passport holders. The Seasonal Fee Card may be purchased by mail or by phone from the BWCAW Reservation Center (see ssss1), or in person after May 1 from any Forest Service Permit Issuing Station. Seasonal Fee Card applications can be obtained at Superior National Forest Offices or from the BWCAW Reservation Center.
