Campsite #4 and campsite #7 on Ace Gap Trail
Campsite #21 on Sugarland Mountain Trail
Campsite #26 on Miry Ridge Trail
NEW BACKCOUNTRY CAMPSITES OPEN:

The Park Trail Map will be updated on the Park website in February and printed maps will be revised and available in July 2009.
SUGARLANDS PERMIT OFFICE WILL BEGIN SENDING VISITORS TO THE NEW SITES AS THEY ARE READY FOR USE.
The closed campsites will continue to have a sign post and cable systems until the trail maps have been updated and are in use since some visitors familiar with the park will undoubtedly complete permits at self registration and camp in the old sites.
This information will be posted on the backcountry permit stations when the new campsites are ready for use.
