By Compiled From N... - July 27th, 2023

With wildfire conditions in southern Oregon increasing, a full ban on wood and charcoal fires is being put in place at Crater Lake National Park.

To ensure public safety and to provide the highest degree of protection to park resources, the following fire ban will be implemented Friday. 

Campfires

  • Wood fires and charcoal fires are NOT allowed in Crater Lake National Park at this time.
  • Liquid fuel and propane camp stoves and gas grills are permitted in campgrounds, picnic areas, backcountry areas and residential areas.

Smoking

  • Smoking is permitted only in the following areas:
    • In vehicles, provided that an ashtray is used for ashes and butts.
    • While stopped in an area at least three (3) feet in diameter that is barren or free of all flammable materials. Ashes and butts must be disposed of safely and may not be discarded on the ground.

Fireworks

  • Fireworks are prohibited in the park at all times.

The purpose of these restrictions is to ensure the safety of park visitors and employees, and for the protection of the park’s natural and cultural resources. These restrictions are dependent upon fire activity and weather conditions and will remain in effect until conditions improve.
