Cleveland National Forest Partially Reopens on October 9th
The Cleveland National Forest partially reopened on Friday, October 9th, with some closures still in effect. Many campgrounds remained closed due to end of season operations or because they were within closed areas, but many developed campgrounds are available to campers. Dispersed camping will be prohibited until the end of the year and Emergency Fire Restrictions have been extended through December 31, 2020.
The Emergency Fire Restrictions state that building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire or smoking on National Forest System lands is prohibited, but propane and gas stove use are permitted in developed recreation sites in National Forests in California.
Outdoor recreation can be beneficial for your health but must be practiced safely. We recommend exercising close to your home and complying with local and state guidance for not traveling for your recreation needs. If an area is crowded, please search for a less occupied location. Stay safe. For more on avoiding COVID-19, visit www.coronavirus.gov.
Visiting National Forests
Please avoid visiting national forests if you are sick and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Follow CDC guidance on personal hygiene and social distancing before and during your visit to the forest.
If an area is crowded, move to a less occupied location. Also consider avoiding the forest during high-use periods.
