Goat Island Primitive Camping

Goat Island has two designated tent-camping-only areas. The first (southern) campground area is in the process of being established; the second (northern) is targeted to be established in 2022. Primitive camping is allowed anywhere on the island, with the exception of the established hunting season from after Labor Day to January, when camping is restricted to the two designated camping areas. A back country use permit, issued by the park's headquarters office, is required.
