Campfires
Campfires are permitted within the fire rings provided. Visitors must supply their own firewood. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented in some parks. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.
