Purchasing of firewood from Lake Catani Campground

The honesty system for the payment of firewood is no longer in place.
Firewood bags can be purchased at 11am only each day from a Ranger in the campground.
If there are volunteer camp hosts staying at Lake Catani Campground (in the canvas tent next to the firewood shed), firewood can be purchased between 9-10am and 4-5pm from the volunteer camp host. However, do not rely on a camp host being onsite to assist with the purchase of firewood as there are periods of time where we don't have volunteers in place.
If you aren't able to be in the campground at 11am please bring your own firewood from home.
Firewood can be purchased for $15 per bag. CASH ONLY.
Note: the collection of firewood within a National Park is not allowed.
