Campfire and fire-use rules for this area, with each localized order the land manager has published.

Campfires only in developed sites.

Developed sites

Forest Order #19-24-04 places National Forest lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin under year-round campfire restrictions. Campfires (wood, charcoal, or other solid fuels) are allowed only within permanently installed iron rings in campgrounds listed in Exhibit A. The order is forest-wide and unstaged, and it prohibits campfires except in named developed sites, so status is partial. No stove, charcoal-specific, or shutoff-valve rules are stated in the supplied text.
