Food Storage
The park is home to many animals, including black bears. When not in use, all of your food, garbage, cooking equipment, storage containers (e.g. ice chests), and toiletries (soaps, toothpaste, etc.) must be kept in your vehicle or in the bear-resistant locker provided at your campsite.

Fires
Each campsite has a fire ring with a grilling grate. Wood fires are allowed only in these designated rings. Never leave fires or hot coals unattended, and extinguish them completely before leaving.

Firewood can be purchased at the Mazama Store. You may also bring firewood into the park with you, but it must be from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho) or labeled as "Approved Pest Free." Dead wood may also be gathered as fuel, but only in areas of the park that are below 6,900 feet (2,100 meters) in elevation. Cutting or trimming of standing trees, dead or alive, is prohibited.
