Los Padres National Forest Fire Danger & Restrictions

Fire danger is currently low across the Los Padres National Forest. Campfires are allowed in designated sites in most campgrounds, but backcountry campfires are generally prohibited. Portable stoves using propane or liquid fuel are permitted with a valid California Campfire Permit. Always check specific district regulations and current weather conditions before your trip, as rules can vary.
