Fair questions

Is it always right?

It shows the land manager's usual rule and any posted rule we've read. Local closures and fire orders change, so check signs on the ground and the fire restrictions on the card.

What does designated sites only mean?

You can camp only at the numbered or marked sites, not anywhere along the road.

What about private land inside a forest?

Private land is drawn separately and needs the owner's permission.

Does it cost anything?

No. Camping on the map is free in the planner.
