We went all over. The mines are located off Old Dale Rd and Brooklyn mine Rd. We went yesterday. The weather was great. You can down load some PDF maps here: http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/maps.htm

Have a great time

We did the Geology loop. Wasn't too much to see. We ate lunch at the big boulders where my sons got some claiming in. The most fun was Traveling on Old Crown road which connects to Old Dale Rd. The terrain going up some of the hills were a bit rocky and we had to take our time. We explored some old abandon mines. Be careful as that area has some mine pits that you can fall into.

Not one for campgrounds and avoid them when possible. We're camping out in the Old Dale Mining District.

Backcountry permits required for this? And are fires allowed?

I was reading backcountry road that you need permits. It's for safety of others, Incase people get stuck. Ranger also issue citation. However you can still drive around but make sure don't leave your car unattended.
If your planning a trip I would say give them a call and ask just to be safe.
