** Premier Sites with Fireplaces are very large sites, and include our largest sites. In Summer from mid-December to the Wednesday before Easter, you will not be allowed to use the fireplaces, as this corresponds with our Summer Fire Season when camp fires cannot be lit.
We also have a number of portable fireplaces that can be hired for $10.00 per night (standard size) and $15.00 per night (large size). If you are planning to bring your own fire bowl, urn or other please contact us to make sure it meets our requirements. They must have a solid ashtray 10cm above the ground.
While we can usually help you get things set up so that your personal portable fireplace will not damage the grass underneath (ash trays available for $5.00 per night) we reserve the right to not allow you the use of your fireplace.
Campfires winter and spring only. (No fires during Summer Fire Season).
Fire wood (with kindling and paper) can be purchased at the campground for $42:00 per wheelbarrow load, or $36.00 for a two thirds load and $30.00 for a half wheelbarrow load. Prices updated 29th July 2024. Fire wood comes supplied with paper and kindling.
If you want just the kindling package (paper and twigs to help get your fire started)
they are $10.00.
Conditions:
The Maximum Number of people per site is different for each site as our sites range in size from 54 square metres for North 2 (N2), up to 360 square metres for Parkland 9 (P9). North 2 (N2) - an economy unpowered site has a maximum of 4 people. Parkland 9 (P9) - a very, very large premier unpowered site has a maximum number of 15 people, but as with all sites you do need to check that you will all fit without crowding. Some cars can be parked off site (see our full terms and conditions). For the maximum number of people for each site please see the list of sites on either Choosing a site by location & map or Choosing a site by classification or type.
We usually only allow Campfires from Easter to mid-December, but it is dependant on the weather and other conditions at the time (please see our full terms and conditions).
