Shame you need a permit to camp there, but if it was a free-for-all it would get absolutely trampled to death.

Yes, usually I think the need for permits is over the top, but this place absolutely needs it to keep traffic down.

Man, I never hit with the permits when I lived nearby. My cousin and his buddies always seemed to. I was quite jealous.

100% this. I grew up in the area but never visited Colchuck until moving back after college. I was shocked at the utter masses when I finally started hiking up there. They need to control the number of people up there or it will completely ruin the area.
