Campfires
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite,
we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing
the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased
in the park or you may bring your own wood.Fees for firewood are set locally
and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans
may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't
gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the
park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an
important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic
matter to the soil.
