The Pilliga Forest is a combination of National Parks, Conservation Areas and State Forests. The National Parks & Wildlife Service manage the National Parks and Conservation Areas and Forestry Corporation manages the Pilliga State Forests.

During summer all these areas may be closed if dangerous fire conditions persist. These closures will include the Pilliga forest visitor areas and campgrounds as well as the Warrumbungle National Park’s walking tracks, trails and remote campgrounds. Up to date information is available on the National Parks website under current alerts.
