• We encourage visitors to conserve wood and use camp stoves instead of fires. Fire rings are available at the Lava Lake day use area, the visitor centre, and at each campsite. Firewood is available to purchase at the campground. Campfires are allowed in the backcountry. However, you should always follow Leave No Trace outdoor ethics. Campfires are prohibited on the lava beds. To preserve plants and ground cover, do not gather firewood in the park. This is an offence under the Park Act . Dead wood is important habitat for plants and animals, and it adds valuable organic material to the soil.
