The Grand Canyon backcountry is divided into use areas. Each use area has an overnight capacity based upon the size of the area, the number of suitable and available campsites, its ecological sensitivity, its management zoning, and its use history. Use areas range in size from several hundred acres to several thousand acres. To camp in a backcountry use area you must obtain a backcountry permit. The table below lists the more popular use areas only. For additional areas not listed, contact the Backcountry Information Center.
