Pop up grill

Question

Just a quick question, wondering if pop up grills are allowed in the blackwoods campground? Thanks!!

Answer

Pop-up grills are generally allowed at Blackwoods Campground in Acadia National Park, but there are some important regulations to keep in mind:

Grill Guidelines:

Campfires and Grills: While small, portable grills are permitted, open campfires (except in designated fire rings) are prohibited due to the risk of wildfires. It is recommended to use propane or gas grills instead of charcoal grills, as charcoal can be harder to manage and clean up.
Cooking Area: Grills must be used in designated campsites, and you should always ensure that your grill is on a flat, stable surface to avoid any fire hazards.
Clean-up: You’ll need to clean up your grill thoroughly after use, and be sure to dispose of any waste properly, following the campground’s recycling and waste disposal guidelines.

Additional Tips:

Check in at the campground office for any specific regulations or updates on fire safety, especially during dry conditions.
It’s a good idea to bring a fire extinguisher or a large container of water just in case, to ensure safety while cooking.

Overall, as long as you follow these guidelines, you should be able to enjoy your pop-up grill at Blackwoods Campground without any issues. Have a great time at Acadia National Park!
