All campgrounds except False Cape provide a grill or fire ring that can be used for charcoal or wood. Help prevent wildfires. Keep outdoor campfires small and contained within the grill/fire ring provided. Fires must be attended at all times and extinguished when left.

Using rocks to construct campfire rings also leaves behind ugly blackened rocks that will last for generations. It is OK to use an existing firering, just don’t construct a new one.
