Personal Use Firewood Permits - National Forests in California are waiving the need for personal use firewood permits until September 30, 2020 (updated). All firewood cutting rules remain in place. Commercial firewood cutting requires a permit. No green trees may be cut for commercial or personal fuelwood.

All firewood cutters must check woodcutting status daily prior to cutting (1-800-847-7766) as chainsaw use may be restricted or prohibited depending on daily fire restrictions.

Plumas National Forest opens more recreation sites - July 8 Update

Some of our smaller (first come-first served) campgrounds are now open but with little to no services and no fees. Visitors need to bring trash bags, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Please pack out all trash. When services are restored, likely in August, fees will be charged.

Campgrounds include: Deanes Valley, Meadow Camp, Rock Creek, Silver Lake, and Snake Lake (Mt. Hough Ranger District) plus Conklin, Meadow View, Ross, Crocker, and Laufman (Beckwourth Ranger District). Campfires are allowed in these developed recreation sites.
