Firewood can harbor many different kinds of pests and diseases that are harmful to Wisconsin’s trees. To protect our campground from problems associated with firewood, we have adopted the Wisconsin DNR rules which prohibit bringing firewood onto the campground from more than 50 miles away or from outside of Wisconsin.(See Range of Allowable Firewood Map Below)
What is Acceptable Firewood for Lake Joy Campground?
Firewood purchased within 50 miles of Lake Joy Campground from a vendor that is certified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Dimensional and untreated lumber scraps, such as 2-by-4s and 2-by-6s.
Minimally processed wood such as full or partial pallets, skids, or slabs are NOT ACCEPTABLE and are prohibited from Lake Joy Campground and will be confiscated!
Wood that is painted, treated with preservatives, or made up of a composite of wood and glue such as chipboard and plywood releases toxins when it is burned and this is a serious health hazard. This type of wood will not be allowed to be burned at Lake Joy Campground.
We have firewood for sale at the campground from a State Certified Vendor.
