Question: How do I get firewood at a park?
Answer:
This icon means that firewood is sold. Sometimes firewood is sold from a central location, either in the park or in the area. In other locations, a contractor delivers wood at scheduled times. Authorized suppliers provide firewood at Alberta's parks. Firewood prices at parks vary due to transportation costs and the supplier's source.
This icon means that firewood is available at the campground. A surcharge is usually added to each overnight camping fee for this service. To locate parks offering firewood this way, check "Firewood Available" in the Camping list in Find a Park.
The Information & Facilities page for a specific campground indicates how firewood is provided (e.g. Brewer's Campground or Chambers Creek Campground).
