Notices from Recreation.gov
Firewood Regulation: Only heat-treated firewood bundled in its original packing and bearing a certification seal from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or a state department of agriculture may be brought onto the Parkway. Campers may still collect dead and down wood in the immediate vicinity of campgrounds and picnic areas. This rule is strictly enforced!
Don't Move Firewood: Help protect our forests! Prevent the spread of tree-killing pests by obtaining firewood at or near your destination and burning it on-site. Moving firewood is illegal in some states. Visit dontmovefirewood.org to learn more.
Campsites at this facility are available on a Reservation Only basis through www.recreation.gov, up to and including the day of arrival. If Reservable sites are still not formally reserved upon arrival, they may be reserved at that time on www.recreation.gov or for a one night stay through the on duty attendant.
