Camping, picnicking and bushwalking are permitted in Bago State Forest. Dogs are welcome on a lead and horse riding is allowed on formed roads and fire trails. Four-wheel driving and trail bike riding are permitted but only on formed roads. Driving off-road and unauthorised track construction is not permitted. When planning your visit, make sure you know what fire ratings and bans apply. In summer periods, Forestry Corporation may declare a Solid Fuel Fire Ban, meaning no wood or charcoal fires can be lit at any time. When lighting a campfire, make sure you stick to the following rules: In picnic and camping areas, only light fires in existing fire places. No fires are permitted within pine plantation areas. Only use fallen wood to light your fire never attempt to cut standing timber, whether alive or dead. Before lighting a fire, make sure the surrounding area is clear of leaves and flammable material and always keep plenty of water handy in case of a stray spark. Never leave your fire unattended and fully extinguish your fire with water before leaving.
