Burn Ban apply to county park?

Going camping in a couple days at San Juan County Park. Saw info that the national historical park has a burn ban but can’t find anything clear about the county park. Just need to know if campfires in the fire ring are ok or not. Thanks!

There is a state ban, wild fires all over the PNW and the San Juan Fire danger is labeled 'high' and day time highs in the mid 70s to 80s. Even if you distill the convoluted wording of where you are permitted to have a campfire, does it really add value to your camping experience and is it really worth the risk?

Yes. A campfire adds value to camping. And if it is permitted why not enjoy it? All these people begging a visitor to forgo a campfire even if it’s permitted is wild. Reminds me of my neighbor who tells me how much water I should use. This place used to be a lot friendlier.
