California Campfire permit:  http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/


Primitive/ Dispersed Camping -- All National Forest lands are open to dispersed camping unless otherwise posted. Check at a Visitor Center for a map that shows what areas are closed to camping. The advantages to this type of camping are many – peace, solitude, and adventure. There are a few rules to follow: 1. You will need to have a California fire permit for all fires including stoves and charcoal grills (free at a Visitor Center) or online at http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/. 2. Check for current fire restrictions. 3. Follow Leave No Trace techniques listed on page 5. 4. 28-day stay limit on any district.
