Panther Den Wilderness is a spectacular mix of forest and massive, building-sized chunks of rock with narrow walkways between them. You can primitive camp anywhere in the wilderness as long as you stay out of designated natural or research areas, which should be marked with yellow posts.
The area around here can be especially convenient because of its proximity to the creek for water; keep an eye out for old fire rings so you won't have to build one.
