There's nothing better than getting together around a fire on a clear winter night. Toasting marshmallows, sharing stories and having a laugh is what camping is all about. But with fire comes alot of responsibility which is why there are so many rules surrounding our fire pits in park. To help you plan your holiday we've put together this list of which parks you can have fire pits and what you need to know.
