Taylor Park is excellent camping. The upper valley has amazing primitive camping. It's just on the other side of Taylor Pass from me, and right near some other great trails (Italian Creek, Pearl Pass, and Schofield Pass). Check with me before you come as these open late, and with the historic snowfall we've had this winter, some may not open at all.
As to wood gathering in the National Forests (and BLM for that matter),
please gather and burn as much as possible!!! This is standing fuel on the forest floors and a contributer to forest fires. I am of course referring to deadfall, no live cutting please, but by all means hike through the woods and gather up as much deadfall as possible and burn it in a controlled campfire.
