****Given the drought conditions in California, Cal Fire will be calling for “red flag” days more often, which will restrict the use of campfires and wood and charcoal grilling. We understand campfires are an important part of your camping experience, so we recommend you bring a propane fire pit and cook grill when visiting Finnon.
