Campfire restrictions include homemade fires, stove fires, charcoal fires and pellet fires. Other prohibited activities include the use of explosives or pyrotechnics such as fireworks, welding equipment and torches, operating any internal or external combustion engines, and all off-road motorized vehicle use.
