You can camp anywhere in the national forest for no charge, but you do not have the option of meals. You need to be self-sufficient and follow the Leave-No-Trace Principles. You are responsible for bear-proof food storage (a good option here). We cannot store your gear/food while you hike. If you plan to camp near us, please check-in upon arrival and we will direct you to sites in the area. You are welcome to use our composting toilets. We do not offer meals to those camping for free. 

Important Reservation Notes

Dogs – Well-behaved dogs are permitted in camp and must be on a leash at all times. We do not allow dogs in any of our structures. If you plan to camp with your dog, you must reserve a tent-site. Clean up after your dog. While Barr Camp is dog-friendly, we remain respectful of those with allergies or a fear of dogs. We reserve the right to refuse services to those with disruptive dogs. We highly encourage you to leave your dog at home, as this is a very strenuous hike for them. Many dogs have had to receive medical attention and evacuation from the mountain. 

Gear storage – In the past, hikers have been allowed to store gear in camp. This is NO LONGER the case.

Food Storage – We do not have any refrigerated storage for food. We do have a bear box for our tent campers to store their food overnight.

Late arrivals / Early departures – For the comfort of everyone, if you are arriving after 7:00 pm we ask that you reserve a lean-to or tent site and know where it is before you arrive. It is most common for first time guests to leave at 5am before breakfast to get ahead of bad weather. Please let us know if you do not plan to stay for breakfast.
