In conjunction with the statewide ban on open fires through midnight April 16, Nebraska Game and Parks is implementing a temporary ban on campfires at all Nebraska state park areas during the same timeframe.
Camp stoves using liquid or gas fuel are permitted as they reduce the likelihood of ash or hot charcoal being discarded before they are extinguished. These types of stoves also do not produce blowing embers, further reducing wildfire potential.
Throughout the camping season, visitors should be mindful of changing conditions. Call park areas prior to arrival to determine whether a fire ban is in effect. Parks will make determinations by working with local emergency managers and fire departments.
