Campfires are permitted but firewood is not provided. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park.

Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented and some parks may use communal fire rings. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.
