Where can I have a campfire during Stage I Fire Restrictions?
The following list includes the only developed recreation sites on the Coconino National Forest exempt from Stage I Fire Restrictions. Note that campfires, and charcoal, coal and wood fires are prohibited at dispersed campsites during Stage I and Stage II fire restrictions.
You are responsible for extinguishing your fire out cold to the touch before you leave the site, even if a host or ranger is on-site. If you leave a campfire unattended (even if there is no flame, but it's still warm) when fire restrictions are in effect, you will be issued a citation that requires you to appear in federal court. The penalty for abandoning a campfire is a fine up to $5,000 and/or up to six month prison sentence. Learn how to build and extinguish a campfire like a pro [Vimeo].
