If you plan to use water from lakes, rivers, or streams, please use a water filter for safety reasons. Most national forest campgrounds provide a rustic camping experience. We do not provide electricity at most campgrounds and most do not have shower facilities, hot water or flush toilets. For information on the campgrounds that do offer one or more of these facilities, please visit the campground information pages or call the forest service office that administrates the campground in which you are interested. A. Campfires are allowed if you are dispersed camping provided you keep the fire small.
Campfires are for cooking and warming purposes only.
Be conscious of fire conditions during the months of April through November as a burning ban could be issued by the Governor of the State which would eliminate all campfires other than those in developed campgrounds where fire rings are provided. If you wish to be a helpful forest visitor and pick up trash you find while recreating in the forest, you may bring the trash to any forest service office to be disposed of. If you see someone dumping trash on national forest system land, please get a license number or description of the vehicle, if possible, and report this information to the nearest forest service office .
