Normally, yes but I think that there are fire restrictions now as in "no fires".
Of course fires are only permited in designated areas.

I think its a day to day situation. As long as it stays relatively dry there is a good chance there will be a fire ban. However, I camped at Goshen about a month ago and it was after 5 when I arrived. Since both Batsto and Atsion ranger stations were both closed I just went to the campsite. A ranger pulled up in his truck and I asked him if there was a fire ban. To my surprise he said no. Camping w/o a fire just isn't camping. Just use extreme caution and don't get carried away with it.

I'm not surprised there is no ban. The leaves are green now and the towers are not manned past mid-May.

long-a-coming will have to comment on this, but if you arrive after hours you can often set up and then pay for the permits the next day. I know, it is hard to believe nj could be this understanding but I think it is the case.

Exactly. You just go to one of the offices the next morning and pay.woodjin said:
Goshen Pond was really nice. It's been a while since I camped there.
It's not as dry as I thought then. That's good.bobpbx said:
When do they start manning the towers?

I believe late September through end of October and then start again in late March.
I drove past Cedar Bridge tower on Sunday and saw a white SUV there. I guess that was the forest service guy. How's the view up there?
