In-ground Fire Pits are located in the Fourth Field, see the Campsite Diagram.

For our purposes, the term “Portable Fire Systems” refers to barbecues, portable stoves, ovens, and braziers. In short, any portable containment system specially designed for holding a fire.

Portable Fire Systems are permitted in ALL camping fields — First, Second, Third and Fourth, see the Campsite Diagram — subject to the following stringent conditions.

Location and Setup:

• Only use fire pits, barbecues, braziers, stoves, and ovens in designated areas.
• Ensure any portable equipment is placed on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from tents, vehicles, and flammable materials.
• Avoid setting up under overhanging branches or near dry grass.

Lighting Fires:

• Use only approved fire starters or kindling. Do not use petrol, paraffin, or other accelerants.
• Ensure a responsible adult is present at all times when using any fire-related equipment.

Fire Control:

• Never leave any fire, barbecue, brazier, stove, or oven unattended while burning.
• Ensure that the fire is extinguished completely before leaving the area.
• Extinguish all flames completely before leaving the area.
