    There is a fs maintained campground(read pay to camp) right across the road from the trailhead. Since its next to the river I suspect they allow fires. Everything else is going to be rustic build your own ring.

    Pretty sure it is. At least toward the western end. You could call canyon lakes ranger district to be sure.

    There are a couple spurs near the start (east end) that have camping spots. There are several more at the west end as well.
