From N.C. Parks and Recreation ordinances...
- The N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation is not permitting campfires at any of its campgrounds across the state. Campers will be allowed to use gas or propane stoves as well as charcoal cooking fires within a charcoal grill or campground fire ring with metal sides. State parks officials also warn that an adult must attend all cooking fires, and coals must be properly extinguished before disposal. The U.S. Forest Service is restricting campfires. Campers will have to rely on camp stoves if they wish to cook in the backcountry on federal park land. The U.S. Forest Service is not allowing fires anywhere in the backcountry, even for the purpose of cooking. If you want to have a campfire, you’ll have to stay at one of the U.S. Forest Service’s developed recreational sites where a fire ring or grill is provided.
- People in violation of the ban on open burning will be assessed a $100 fine and are at-risk of violating air quality regulations and possible local ordinances. Outdoor burning is also prohibited in areas covered by Code Orange or Code Red air quality forecasts.
