Free permits are required for overnight stays in the park, and you must stay in a designated campsite. Those sites with a usage limit will require you to have a reservation number if space is available. It is best to contact the park service for the latest requirements.
The most beautiful time of the year for Gregory is the middle of June.The flame azaleas are just knockout, pick your color and it is there. I am no flower buff but I love the color and the beauty that they lend to the great pleasure of a 'walk in the woods'.
