Parks with Fire Pits - Warm Up This Winter

If you’re planning on hitting the road this winter season, how about staying at any of our parks that allow for outdoor fire pits?

But please remember, outdoor fire pits come with great responsibility. In order to ensure a safe environment for all, there are quite a few rules surrounding fire pits in our parks:

  • Never leave children unattended around a fire.
  • Before lighting a fire, always check with any of our friendly park managers that you meet the requirements to do so.
  • As a courtesy, we also recommend checking in with your caravanning or camping neighbours if they’re happy for you to get a firepit going. 
  • Be sure to also clear the surrounding area of your firepit (up to a 4-metre radius) so as to avoid any potential incidents.
  • If a park is not listed below, this means no fires are allowed.
  • Raised fire pits such as braziers, chimineas, or steel fire pits are preferred across all locations.

Not sure if your fire pit fits our park requirements? Give us a call!
