Los Padres National Forest Fire Danger & Restrictions
Fire danger is very high across the Los Padres National Forest. Backcountry campfires are prohibited forest-wide, though campfires are allowed at many designated sites in campgrounds. Propane and pressurized stoves are permitted with a valid campfire permit, but check specific district rules for any additional restrictions. Always confirm current conditions and restrictions before your trip.
