I've done some day hiking in the area, but not backpacking yet. The day hikes were lovely. Busy around GF if it's a nice day. I emailed the rangers to see if there were any permits we need for the trip. No permits needed, but you do need a hard sided bear canister, and as the post mentions, you can camp anywhere near Black Balsam. You cannot camp in the Graveyard Fields area and haven't been allowed to since 2015.
