Dirtbikes are allowed yes....need to be insured/registered, not sure about the camping we have a lakelot which is pretty much trailside so I've never looked, if you are not worried about ammenities then you can pitch a tent in many areas along the trail. The IHT has a crush rock base so the bikes tend to float quite a bit but there are lots of places you can ride beside the IHT on dirt.

The trail permits OHV's. A dirt bike is a OHV under the act so you actually could unless they change things to say that dirt bikes are banned....

As someone who rides the trail on a regular basis come sledding season, the one big massive issue many of us have, is guys on bikes/quads who think it's a great idea to fishtail all down the trail and rut it up which makes a mess.

More than once the idea has been discussed to drag one of these guys into the bush and beat him mercilessly.:nono:
