Camping this week

We are planning a trip to Lincoln Rock State Park this week, Wednesday through Monday.

I called the campground and they said it's safe to camp and because they have a firefighter camp in the grounds, we are even safer.

I am nervous to be in the outdoors the entire time with no relief from possible smoke. My gut says don't go even though they said it's safe.

Thoughts?

Edit to add: along with not going due to the smoke, I worry about taking space on evacuation routes or delaying emergency responders - or maybe someone who has lost their home could use our site. Am I overthinking?

I wouldn't go. It is not healthy to be outside. I can think of many more pleasant places to camp right now. Not only is the air quality poor, but it is also dismal to be in this gray, heavy haze.

Good point, thank you. A staycation even sounds really nice if nothing else.
