A campfire ban will go into effect Thursday in all state-managed parks and forests east of Interstate 5, the Oregon Department of Forestry said Wednesday.
The list of prohibited fires includes any open flame – even in designated campfire rings – with the exception of portable stoves and lanterns with liquid fuel.
“The step of banning campfires east of Interstate 5 was deemed a necessary measure to protect life and property,” said the news release.
With at least 70% of fires in Oregon sparking from human activity, the new restriction aims to preserve the state’s already challenged firefighting resources for “existing large fires as well as new blazes that may emerge.”

Due to fire danger and limited firefighting resources across the western U.S., effective Thursday, July 22 no campfires will be allowed in state parks and in state-managed forests east of Interstate 5, even in designated campfire areas. This includes charcoal fires, cooking fires, warming fires, charcoal briquettes, pellet grills, candles, tiki torches and other devices that emit flames or embers. Portable cooking stoves or propane lanterns using liquefied or bottle fuels are allowed, though propane fire pits are not.
This ban covers all state-managed parks and forestlands east of Interstate 5, and includes prohibitions on fires in designated fire rings. The public can also anticipate restrictions in other areas based on fire danger. Restrictions may increase as fire danger rises in other parts of Oregon and will remain in place until conditions moderate.
