Kejimkujik No Longer Offering Free And Unlimited Firewood

Starting this year (2025), Kejimkujik National Park will no longer be offering free and unlimited firewood at backcountry campsites. Campers can continue to have campfires in the metal firebox on their campsite (when there are no wildfire restrictions in effect) by purchasing firewood at the Visitor Centre or Campground Kiosk and transport it to their site.

Fire has been used on the Kejimkujik landscape by generations of Mi’kmaq, settlers, and recreationists. Today’s realities of high visitor demand and climate change call for an approach that is adapted to the present context so that future generations may continue to enjoy this experience.

To control the spread of invasive forest pests, all imported firewood is prohibited and only firewood purchased at Kejimkujik is permitted.
