(1) All camps or fires shall be in designated campgrounds unless otherwise posted at the check station, except that camping is allowed anywhere on National Forest lands unless otherwise indicated or signed. U.S. Forest Service regulations govern camping on WMAs located on National Forest lands. All campers must comply with any conditions of use as posted or provided by the site.
(2) Unless otherwise provided through written permission by the Department, camping, or establishment of a campsite, shall be limited to a period of time not to exceed 14 consecutive days; after which the campsite shall be vacated and all personally owned property or physical features of the camp removed for a period of not less than 7 days. During such 7-day period a new campsite may neither be established within the boundaries of the same WMA nor within a 1-mile straight-line radius of the vacated campsite on any other WMA by the same person(s).
(3) It is unlawful for any person to use any musical instruments, radios, televisions, generators or other noise making devices after 10:00 p.m. daily, in such a manner that such devices may be heard by other WMA visitors. Nothing in this regulation shall be construed to prevent use of medically needed devices or aids to disabled persons.
