Below you will find the web site address and general instructions on how to get a Lake Tahoe campfire permit through the USDA Forest Service. Even with this permit in hand, it is your responsibility to find out if there are fire restrictions in the forest you will be visiting. In other words, there are often campfire restrictions which means - NO CAMPFIRES!. For instance, the summer of 2001, fire restrictions were in effect from July 18, 2001 through October 23, 2001 in the Lake Tahoe Basin and no campfires were allowed for that period of time. In addition, there may be specific areas like Desolation and Mokelumne Wildernesses where campfires are simply not allowed any time. Please do your homework before lighting your campfire as there can be significant fines (you will be "held liable for the cost of suppression and damages caused etc..." according the the USDA website) not to to mention you being being identified as the cause of a wildfire.
