Campfire permit required for Rubicon Trail campers
Submitted by paula on Fri, 09/04/2015 - 10:30pm
Due to unprecendented dry conditions, visitors on the Rubicon Trail are urged to be especially careful with campfires. Outside of hosted campgrounds, you must have a California Campfire Permit to have a campfire, charcoal barbeque, use a gas stove or gas lantern.
Remember that regulations governing campfires can change with weather conditions so always check with the U.S. Forest Service for current campfire restrictions.
California Campfire permits are available free of charge at the Ranger Stations or online at http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/.
