A campfire permit is required in the National Forest in California if you
will be camping outside of a designated campground (even to use a backpacking
stove). If you are in a wilderness area, your wilderness permit is accepted for
your campfire permit, however some wilderness areas which do not require
wilderness permits will require a campfire permit. They are free and issued by any
Forest Service location and are good until December 31st of each year. If
you request a campfire permit in the Angeles National Forest, however, they will
only issue you the permit for 30 days from the date of issuance, so I
suggested you not get a campfire permit from there. I just got another campfire
permit last month and the Forest Service went over the above with me and referred
me to the following site: www.fs.fed.us/r5/passes/campfire.html. Hope this
helps.
