No. Due to the current adverse heat conditions and increased risk of wildfires, BBQs, fire pits and chimineas are not permitted at our touring and camping parks until further notice.
The prolonged hot and dry weather has significantly increased the risk of fire, particularly around dry grass, vegetation and woodland. To help protect our guests, team members, parks and surrounding areas, we have temporarily suspended the use of all BBQs, fire pits and chimineas.
This restriction applies until further notice, regardless of whether BBQs or fire pits are raised off the ground or used with a stand.
Please do not:
Use disposable, charcoal or gas BBQs.
Light fire pits, chimineas or any other open flames.
Light fires anywhere on or around the park.
Dispose of cigarettes, matches or other smoking materials on the ground.
Ignore any additional fire safety notices or instructions displayed around the park.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these exceptionally hot and dry conditions. The safety of our guests, team members and the surrounding environment is our priority.
We will review these restrictions as conditions change and will advise guests when BBQs and fire pits can safely be used again.
