Fire Restrictions

Nevada State Parks is committed to protecting all residents and visitors through fostering wildfire-resilient landscapes and communities. We encourage visitors to recreate safely and responsibly to help prevent wildfires, protect lives and property, and preserve our precious natural wonders that we all love.

Each State Park or State Recreation Area may impose more stringent restrictions when they determine that the conditions warrant them. The State Park or State Recreation Area may not, however, be less restrictive. 

Learn more about fire restrictions, here.

Igniting, building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire (using wood, charcoal or any other material) outside of developed campgrounds, picnic or designated areas where fire rings and other approved fire enclosures are provided and accessible. Portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed.
