Firewood can be purchased
from the Park Facility Operator in some parks or
you can bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are
set locally and may vary. To preserve vegetation
and ground cover, please do not gather firewood from
the area around your campsite or elsewhere in 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. Bring a portable
stove for cooking.
