PLACERVILLE, Calif — Campers in the Eldorado National Forest are now allowed to have campfires again.

The restrictions were put in place earlier in the year because of dry conditions, but now have been lifted due to the recent rain.

Visitors still need to get a valid California campfire permit to have a fire, including gas stoves.
