CAN WE HAVE A CAMPFIRE AT OUR SITE?

Of course! Campfires are at the heart of camping, and provide a wonderful opportunity to gather, share stories, make memories, and relax. We do require that they remain inside your fire ring and ask campers to be mindful of not using wood containing nails. Please do not bring untreated firewood or firewood from out-of-state onto the campground. We sell firewood at the camp store/office for the ease and convenience of our guests. Please do not move the fire ring. Campers who remove the fire ring from their site will be charged for the replacement value of the item.

CAMP ON!
