bonfires are not permitted - fires kill the soil, make camp sites ugly, and represent a major cause of forest fires.

for cooking, only a camping stove is permitted - in fact, modern stoves are lightweight and easy to use, cooking with a stove is much faster and more practical than lighting a campfire.

to illuminate a camping site, visitors can use a lantern or a flashlight instead of a campfire.

those who really need to build a fire can use previously established sites, but only if the rules permit doing so.
