Campfire & stove rules

Provided campground fire facility only

Campfires

Two Harbors Campground is a reserved Trans-Catalina Trail campground. Use wood or charcoal only in a facility explicitly provided for the assigned site and only when the reservation's current fire notice permits it; never build a ground fire or gather island vegetation.

Backpacking stoves

Portable gas stove at the reserved campground. Use a self-contained gas stove at the assigned campsite and follow the campground's current wind and fire-danger restrictions.

Permit

The campsite reservation and Conservancy hiking authorization remain required. The manager does not identify a separate California Campfire Permit for an approved campground stove.

Current restrictions

Check the exact campground reservation notice immediately before travel. The current notice controls fire facilities, Parsons Landing locker service, and any wind- or fire-danger suspension of flame devices.
