Update as of 9/22/2020 Campfires are still not allowed.  BBQs and anything that uses gas with a shutoff valve is allowed with fire permit.  (No charcoal, wood fires, or smudge pots) Click here to get your fire permit for free. (This is not something that is heavily enforced, but technically its the law. Its best to get one just in case.)    After emailing with Barstow BLM, they believe that the "no flame" fire restrictions will be in place at Halloween.
