The majority of the funds raised by the camping fees stay in the Boundary Waters. The funds allow the Forest Service to hire more employees to work in the wilderness, maintaining and rehabilitating campsites and portage trails, educating visitors about Leave No Trace camping techniques, assisting people in trouble, and expanding the hours of operation at the permit-issuing stations.

Reservations

All overnight travel permits are available by advance reservation. You will be charged a nonrefundable processing fee of $12 per reservation plus all applicable use fees. You don’t have to make a reservation before arriving at the BWCAW, but it is advisable, since quotas at many entry points do fill up early. A reservation assures you of a permit to enter the wilderness on a specific day at a certain entry point.

Reservations can be made on the phone, by fax, by mail, or online. Contact information follows.
