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.

There are no showers. No electric, water, or sewer hook-ups are available.

All tents must be placed on prepared pads where provided.

Only one tent is allowed per site unless there is adequate space on the provided tent pad. Sites are for use by parties not to exceed six people unless specifically designated as Group Camping.

Hammock camping is permitted, but campers must abide by posted regulations.

Vehicles are to be parked on the pavement of an assigned site or in designated parking areas. A maximum of two vehicles may be parked in each site (i.e. trailer and car, two cars, two motorcycles). Most sites are limited to only one vehicle.

Generator use is prohibited from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.

CAUTION: Bears frequent the area. Be aware. Keep a clean camp and store all food or scented items in your car or provided food lockers. DO NOT HANG TRASH FROM THE LANTERN POST.
