Are open campfires allowed in the Black Hills? That is a question many visitors to the area ask. It is unlawful to build an open fire anywhere within the Black Hills Forest Fire Protection District and surrounding grasslands areas. Exceptions are propane grills and spark proof incinerators.
Campfires are allowed in designated areas only in agency approved fire grates. It is unlawful to throw any type of burning substance, cigarette, cigar, match, pipe ashes from a motor vehicle. For fire restrictions during the Sturgis Rally, visit Black Hills Fire Restrictions.
