Can you camp for free in Shenandoah National Park?

Free camping is not allowed within Shenandoah National Park, as all camping must be done at designated campgrounds or backcountry sites that require a permit. However, you can find free camping in the nearby George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, which allow dispersed camping in certain areas. Keep in mind that amenities may not be available, and you should practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve the natural environment.
