Campfire & stove rules
No wilderness campfiresCampfires
Do not use wood, charcoal, or a twig stove at Cucamonga Wilderness camp areas; an existing ring is not authorization.
Backpacking stoves
Controlled-fuel stove with permit. Use only a gas, LPG, jellied-petroleum, or pressurized-liquid-fuel stove with a shutoff valve when San Bernardino restrictions allow it.
Permit
Carry the free wilderness permit and a valid California Campfire Permit for stove use; neither overrides an emergency order.
Current restrictions
Check San Bernardino alerts and the trailhead posting on the departure day because current orders can suspend stove use.
