The Dinkey Creek Campground will be closed as firefighting efforts continue for the Garnet Fire in Fresno County.
Rancheria Campground at Huntington Lake or reimbursement will be offered to the public.
Officials say the closure will help both public and firefighter safety.
They add that using the campground will help firefighters spend less time on the road for the firefight.
On Tuesday, a mixture of heat, high winds, thunderstorms and lightning made the firefight against the Garnet Fire in Fresno County even more challenging.
Action News Chief Meteorologist Kevin Musso said this kind of climate is unusual for Central California.
"This is the summer monsoon. It comes from the opposite direction. It has some tropical regions, it tends to make things feel kind of muggy, and we're not used to that," said Musso.
