The Department does not take reservations for camping facilities within the State, but we have provided for your convenience the links on this page to those State and Federal agencies that do offer camping in California. In addition, you will find information concerning Campfire Permits and fire safety while camping in California's beautiful outdoors.

The CDF Demonstration State Forests listed here have very limited, basic camping facilities. They are available on a first come, first serve basis.

1. Clear all flammable material away from the fire for 10 feet in all directions to prevent escape of the fire.
2. Have a shovel available at the campfire site for preparing and extinguishing campfires.
3. Have a responsible person in attendance at all times.
4. Extinguish campfires with water, using the drown, stir, and feel method.
