Modern Camping
Frances Slocum
State Park
• Please camp only in designated areas and minimize your
impact on the campsite.
• Prevent wild fires. Fires are only permitted in fire rings or
grills. Gas and propane camp stoves are permitted. Fires must
be attended at all times and extinguished before leaving a
campsite. Properly dispose of hot coals.
• Firewood is not provided. Cutting live or standing trees and
the operation of chainsaws are prohibited.
• Firewood Advisory: Firewood may contain non-native
insects and plant diseases. Bringing firewood into the park
from other areas may accidentally spread pest insects and
diseases that threaten park resources and the health
of our forests. Use local firewood. Do not take wood home
and do not leave firewood. Burn it!
• Handwashing and dishwashing are permitted only where
appropriate facilities are available. Washing is prohibited at
water spigots, hand pumps, springs, lakes, and streams.
• Because uncontrolled pets may chase wildlife or frighten
visitors, pets must be physically controlled, attended at all
times, and on a leash, caged, or crated. Electronic fences and
leashes are prohibited.
• Do your part to keep wildlife wild! Enjoy wildlife from
a safe distance and do not feed or approach wild animals.
Human food is unhealthy for animals and animals dependent
on human food can lead to dangerous human-animal
encounters.
• Please recycle. Place trash accumulated during your stay in
proper receptacles or take it home with you.
