Firewood Restrictions (Statements Courtesy the MN DNR)

Why Firewood Restrictions?

Emerald ash borer (EAB) and many other forest pests and diseases can be accidentally transported in firewood. In order to help prevent the introduction and spread of invasive pests, state statute was amended by commissioner’s order in March 2011 banning all firewood in state-owned camping facilities unless approved by the DNR (Minnesota Statute, section 89.551, Sec. 2).

Approved Firewood is:

  • Firewood sold at a state park.
  • Firewood purchased from a vendor that is either:
    • Non-ash firewood harvested from and purchased in the same county where it will be used (be sure to keep your receipt to show proof of purchase)
    • Firewood harvested in Minnesota that has been certified by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture or the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (be sure to keep your receipt to show proof of purchase).
  • Kiln-dried, unpainted, unstained dimensional lumber that is free of any metal or foreign substances, or manufactured logs. Pallet wood is not approved firewood. Dimensional lumber does not require proof of purchase.

People Owner Courtesies

We are a family campground that realize pets like to camp with their people. We welcome both here at Oak Park.  Pets you know your personality, if you are not good at being social and show aggressive behavior, such as growling or nipping, do not like to be on a leash or like to hear yourself bark, then please let your people camp without you, as any dog that shows aggressive behavior of any type will be ask to leave the park. 

Having said that, here are a few tips for you pets who know you are not aggressive, and always be on a hand held 6′ leash and enjoy camping with your people. 

  • Only 3 dogs allowed per site.
  • Please keep your people on a hand held leash (6′ max) at all times.
  • No outside kennels of any type.
  • If you poop be sure they scoop.
  • Please do not let them use the screw in to the ground dog ties as we have many underground utilities.
  • Please do not let them tie you to our trees.
  • Do not let them leave you outside unattended.
  • Be sure they take you inside the RV or tent with them at night.
  • Be sure they do not take you into buildings, playground or pool area.
  • We know there are lots of new sights and smells, but try to keeping the barking down, so that it does not disturb the neighbors.

See You Soon!
