Plen here, I've backpacked the AT both south (Nantahala) and north (Pisgah) of the Great Smoky Mountain Park grounds, but never through the park itself: I am fully aware that you need a permit to camp or backpack anywhere within the park grounds; however, I am completely on-the-fence as to whether I will go for a 4-5 day & night trek through it for Spring Break (which is starting this Saturday). If it isn't too late to purchase the permit (I don't even know if this is done by mail or can be done instantly or electronically), could I get away with backpacking without it?

Should be able to buy it online and print it out. It's how I get my fishing and hunting permits. Should be the same way

I went on the site and it looks like you can reserve up to the day you go.

they e-mail you the permit. you need to print and carry with you.

I highly recommend a trip in the Smokies, but
the A.T. during spring break is probably not the best time.
Permits were once mostly straightforward and free, but no longer. the park service has strong-armed a new policy into place in 2013 despite huge opposition from the local communities.
