According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), visitors to public lands in Indiana are permitted to bring firewood if:
- It is kiln-dried scrap wood with no bark
- It is Indiana-grown firewood and has all bark removed
- It is labeled with a USDA or state compliance stamp
- It is purchased from the property camp store or on-site firewood vendor
Parks and campgrounds often have their own firewood policies. Be sure to determine the firewood rules at your destination before bringing firewood; when in doubt, buy firewood where you burn it!
This summary is accurate to the best of DMF staff abilities as of March 2026.
