Mammoth Cave National Park
Campfire and fire-use rules for this area, with each localized order the land manager has published.
Campfire status unknown.
UnknownThe source is the Superintendent's Compendium (approved 09/02/2026) and includes 36 CFR 2.13 fire rules. These state where campfires are permitted (developed campgrounds, backcountry campsites, picnic areas in fire rings; Green and Nolin River floodplains and islands with exceptions) and that the Superintendent may prohibit fires or the Park may institute fire bans during high fire danger. The text does not show an active fire ban or restriction order in effect as of the Retrieved date, and no explicit lifting or no-restriction statement, so the current posture cannot be settled.
