Wilderness permits are required for entry into many of
the wilderness areas located on National Forests in
California. Permits help the Forest Service to manage the
wilderness by tracking visitor use patterns. In some areas,
visitor quotas and trailhead quotas are in effect to protect
the wilderness area from visitor impacts and overuse.
Wilderness permits are free to anyone who will follow
certain rules intended to protect both the visitor and the
wilderness resource. A separate wilderness permit is
required is required for each trip. A group camping
together and traveling together need only one permit.
Fires—ground, wood and charcoal are PROHIBITED in
the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness. Fuel and gel stoves
are permitted during general fire restrictions.
