ATVs, motorized trail bikes and off-road vehicles are not allowed, and you cannot set up extra tents or gear on a cabin site. Fires go only in the fire rings, chainsaws are banned and cutting trees, alive or dead, is prohibited. Firewood is sold at either park office, and you may not bring your own from outside. Generators are allowed except during quiet hours. Wharton is carry in, carry out, so take your trash with you at check-out.

Pets are allowed only on sites AFC 26 through 34. They are not allowed in the cabins or on sites 1 through 25 and 35 through 50. Register and pay for a pet at a park office, and keep the rabies vaccination paperwork on hand.
