Lassen County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Use of county-owned property, including park and recreation areas, in unincorporated Lassen County is regulated by Chapter 9.32 (County Property) of the Lassen County Code. The chapter makes it unlawful for any person to camp overnight within the territory described in the code (LCC 9.32.030 references the described county property), and a violation of any provision of the chapter is declared to be an infraction punishable by a fine not to exceed $100 for a first offense and a fine not to exceed $200 for a second or subsequent offense. The Board of Supervisors may temporarily suspend certain prohibitions through a permit process (for example, for approved educational or public-exhibition activities), which it may approve, conditionally approve, or deny. While Chapter 9.32 squarely addresses overnight camping and county-property conduct, the specific posted hours of operation for individual parks (such as a dawn-to-dusk or set closing time) are typically established by the managing department or posted on-site rather than by a single county-wide curfew time. The county has also taken up camping-ordinance updates in recent planning cycles. For exact hours and rules at a particular Lassen County park or recreation area, check posted signage or contact the county; for the camping prohibition and penalties, see LCC Chapter 9.32.
