This need is for areas of the earth within which we stand without our mechanisms that make us immediate masters over our environment...

Campfire restrictions in the King Range

The King Range National Conservation Area is in full campfire restrictions as of 7/15/2010 and will continue to be so for the remainder of the dry season. The restriction includes all of the Lost Coast Trail and the beach. You are, however, still able to have campfires (in established campfire rings only) in developed campsites (campsites managed by BLM that you pay to stay at overnight).

Plan ahead and prepare by bringing a stove to cook with while you are in the backcountry. The seasonal rangers have been dismantling fire rings throughout the King Range to discourage visitors from having campfires. Please help us keep them that way.

Thanks,
Paul
