Is this something that you require when camping in privately owned campgrounds in California, or is writing permission given when registering for the campsite.  This is something that I'm not accustom to.

 

When camping in Canada National parks, wood is provided, but you purchase a campfire permit each day.  When camping elsewhere, I've never heard or needing a permit, but normally you purcashe or provide your own wood.

 

Cities have different rules.  Where I live (St. Albert) you need to bring a drawing of your proposed campfire pit and yard/structures etc. to the fire department and they grant a permit if it meets code.  Some cities do not allow open pits, while others do and no permit is even needed.  It different across the board.  I've never heard of needing a permit while camping other than in national parks.

A campfire permit is meant to be used outside of what you call a civilized cg on state or federal land-unless other wise prohibited.  You always need to check on fire conditions/restrictions before camping in a area. Another words,if you have one,  depending on current fire restrictions, you can build a fire in one of those rock rings or iron fire hearths you see in the dry camps and cgs most of us camp in. You need it to build a fire when.back packing. There are also  times that you can not even build a fire in a  a pre made fire hearth or  .rock ring anywhere inside or out side of a cg. Every cg has a set of posted rules on when or where you can build a fire. One rule to remember ,especially when camping in a dry cg, is that when camp fires are prohibited, if you have a CF permit you can usually use  propane stove outside , but usually not a BBQ. If for no other reason than this  this is why to get a cf permit- w/o it you cook in the camper.  Sometimes due to fire restrictions, Nevada also requires a cg permit  in NW Nevada to build a fire. That help?
