As of 12:01am Tuesday, July 16th, Regulated Use Closure (RUC) will go into effect in Hood River and Wasco County.  The RUC restrictions will close County Forest trails to motorized use in Post Canyon and Kingsley as well as the already enforced restrictions at Middle Mt., Pinemont and Fir Mt. (Eastside) due to fire danger at this time. E-motos and E-bikes are still permitted. Open campfires throughout the county forest are also prohibited. Campfires are NO LONGER permitted at the Kingsley Campground. Portable cooking stoves using liquefied or bottled fuels are allowed throughout the forest. All vehicles traveling on county forest roads will be required to have a shovel and a gallon of water or a 2 1/2 pound fire extinguisher or larger.

As of 7/22/2024, at 5:00pm the Kingsley Campground will be closed due to the Whisky Creek Fire until further notice.
