Firewood use at Cedarville State Forest

Firewood for camping can be purchased on site. Additionally, campers are welcome to gather sticks and limbs on the ground around their campsite. Please DO NOT bring outside firewood into the State Forest. A wide variety of forest insect pests are accidentally transported and introduced to new areas by transporting personal firewood between distinct geographic locations. Please keep our forests safe!
