Are permits required for camping in Finnish national parks?

I'm planning a trip for this fall which would include two- or three-day hikes through some of the national parks in Finnish Lapland; in particular, I'm looking at Urho Kekkosen national park.
The idea would be that the camping would be "in the wild" rather than at specific campgrounds.
Is this allowed, and if so, is there a permit requirement ahead of time?
