Or send your question to Suzi at <a href=\"mailto:sf@forestcamping.com\">sf@forestcamping.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I<strong><em>s there a hardcover book available for the U.S. National Forest Campgrounds Guides?<\/em> <\/strong>\u00a0No, we publish U.S. National Forest Campground Guides by Forest Service Region only as ebooks on CD or as download ebook from our bookstore.. While the same information is found on the website, we have expanded the contain of the ebooks to include hand-drawn maps, lookup tables, a few favorite recipes, personal observations, internal links, and more.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Are there Forest Service cabins for rent?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Although our research does not include cabin rentals, we have learned the Forest Service does have cabins and fire towers for rent. Our recommendation is you contact the applicable National Forest Supervisor or Ranger District Office directly for the most current and specific information. Or check what is available on www.recreation.gov.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Do I need to make reservations?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0No, but if you are looking at a lakeside campsite for a weekend, a campground near a large urban area, or want a campsite during one of national holidays, which are Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, reservations (if available) are probably an good idea. \u00a0Think of reservations as insurance that will absolutely have that specific campsite available to you arrive at campground.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How do I obtain a national forest map?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Probably the best place to obtain map is directly from the national forest you are visiting; contact the Supervisor Office, Ranger District Office, or visitor center for a map. \u00a0You&#8217;ll find contact information off the &#8220;Forest Contacts&#8221; tab located at the top of the national forest&#8217;s or grassland&#8217;s web page on ForestCamping.com. \u00a0There will be a fee charged.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How do I obtain a trail map?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Again, probably the best place to obtain map is directly from the national forest you are visiting; contact the Supervisor Office, Ranger District Office, or visitor center for a map. \u00a0You&#8217;ll find contact information off the &#8220;Forest Contacts&#8221; tab located at the top of the national forest&#8217;s or grassland&#8217;s web page on ForestCamping.com. \u00a0Some trail maps are available on-line but these are often limited to the most popular or not at the detail a hiker might find useful.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Where can I obtain a map of the campground?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0The Ranger District Office might have a campground map. Another source is the Reservation.gov but these maps would be limited to only those campgrounds accepting reservations.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Are pets permitted in campgrounds?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Yes, but all pets must be kept on a leash and\/or under control at all times. By the way, potbelly pigs, fainting goats, and such are not considered pets but livestock and, therefore, not permitted in most campgrounds.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>What is the weather like at the campground?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0For current weather condition, check the Weather Channel. \u00a0For the weather in the future, check you Ojabi board.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Could you send me directions to the campground?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Except from the nearest town to the campground, we don&#8217;t provide directions.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Can I camp for free in national forests or grassland?<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Yes, there are no charge developed campgrounds. \u00a0Check ForestCamping.com for no fee campgrounds. \u00a0However, camping outside developed campgrounds is usually free but there will be rules and limitations unique to the location; check with the Ranger District office for specifics.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How do I obtain a Golden Access (Senior Pass) passport?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Go to a Ranger District or Park Service office near you with proof of your birth date. \u00a0There will be a small fee. \u00a0America the Beautiful passes as well as discount passport are available through this venue.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>What are the rules for camping in wilderness areas?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0The catch phrase &#8220;Leave No Trace&#8221; is a good rule of thumb to follow. Check with the Forest Service for more specific information. Some Forests may require something like a training session. For example, the Superior National Forest requires watching a well-made film. \u00a0While others only care that you to know their regulations, e.g., distance between your campsite and a stream.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Does the forest permit off-highway-vehicle riding?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Most National Forests do permit OHV and ATV riding but there are limitations and rules. In general, all the State&#8217;s rule apply and in place and observed. Some forests have whole areas and trail networks for OHV and ATV enthusiasts, while some limit all activity to developed roadways. Check with Ranger District office for maps and details.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Are there Horse Camps?<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Yes but, as former equestrians, we feel there are not enough. The general opinion within the Forest Service seems to be horse people will camp anywhere and do not want developed campgrounds. Having said that, I must tell you there are some magnificent developed equestrian campgrounds (Cedar Lake Equestrian Campground in the Ouachita National Forest is one example) with a fabulous trail network.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Is hunting permitted in national forests and grasslands?<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Yes, but hunting is subject to state laws and regulations. Check with District Ranger Office. \u00a0Remember, discharging any firearms within a campground or recreation area is *not* permitted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"https:\/\/www.forestcamping.com\/dow\/suzi\/faq\/\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 237346;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts with Thumbnails\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t see the answer to your question?
