Hi! Is there any information about the reopening dates?
Hi Denis,
Just checked and there are no updates as to when the national forests (campgrounds and trails, etc.) in CA will be reopened. Initially the closure would be at least through Sep 14, but I have a feeling (with the very dry conditions and continued fires), it will be extended.
2021 started still not opened? Any update? thanks
Hi Oliver,
Fire Restrictions have been lifted. You can have fires in designated campsite fire rings. Most campgrounds are currently closed for the season and many still under snow.
