Keyhole State Park Implements Stage 2 Fire Restrictions

MOORCROFT, Wyo. – June 2, 2026 – As of May 26, 2026, Crook County, Wyoming, entered into a Stage 2 Fire Ban. To ensure the safety of park visitors and neighbors of the park, Keyhole State Park will be implementing Stage 2 burn ban restrictions effective immediately. 

Stage 2 fire restrictions prohibit all campfires on park property, including campfires in state-issued fire rings. Devices using pressurized liquid or gas (stoves, grills, or lanterns) that include shut-off valves are permitted when used in an area at least three feet or more from flammable material such as grasses or pine needles. 

Keyhole State Park staff is working closely with the Pine Haven Volunteer Fire Department to continuously monitor fire conditions to help keep park visitors and neighbors in Keyhole safe during this fire season. Park staff will be working to clear campsites of flammable materials to help reduce fire risk and provide safe conditions for visitors to use pressurized liquid or gas stoves, grills, or lanterns at the park. 

For more information, contact Keyhole State Park Superintendent Mary Negri at (307) 205-3149 or Mary.Negri@wyo.gov.
