Black Hills National Forest Fire Danger & Restrictions

Fire danger is high across much of the Black Hills National Forest, with backcountry campfires prohibited in most areas. Campground campfires may be allowed only in established fireplaces in designated recreation areas, but always check local restrictions before you go. Pressurized liquid or gas stoves are generally permitted in cleared areas. Always confirm current fire restrictions with the specific ranger district or campground you plan to visit.
