Since it is first come, first served, be prepared to camp at other sites than the one you originally hoped for (which could mean a long hike in!). Backcountry campsites include two tent pads, a firebox, a picnic table, a pit privy and bear cables for hoisting food. Don't forget your portable stove for cooking, as there may not be wood available at the site. There will be bundles of firewood available for purchase in front of the visitor centre for $7.50 per bundle with proceeds going to Friends of Keji.
