Fire planning
Campfire & stove rules
Reserved-site fire facility only when EBRPD permitsCampfires
Star's Rest is a reserved East Bay Regional Park District backpack camp. Use fire only in a provided facility when the reservation and current fire-danger notice expressly allow it; never build a ground fire or gather wood.
Backpacking stoves
Portable gas stove at the reserved backpack site. Use a self-contained gas backpacking stove at the assigned site and keep it attended. A park closure or high-fire-danger notice can suspend all flame use.
Permit
The backpack-camping reservation is required. EBRPD does not identify a separate California Campfire Permit for an approved portable stove at the reserved site.
Current restrictions
Check the EBRPD fire-status notice, water-status report, and the assigned camp instructions before departure; those current notices control over the standing reservation information.
