It’s another dry, hot summer here in Oregon, and in order to prevent the spread of wildfires, campfires have been banned or restricted on a number of public lands. Make sure to check national and state public land management websites (listed in the resources section below) for the latest updates before you go on your next camping trip, since fire regulations can change quickly and can vary based on your location.
