FIRES & FIREWOOD:

Do you allow fire pits and braziers?

We offer a limited number of powered and unpowered sites at the rear of the Park which can accommodate approved braziers, subject to any local fire restrictions.

Fire pits and braziers must be on legs (a minimum of 20cm off the ground) to prevent damage to the grass and have a fire blanket placed underneath to catch any stray embers. Our grounds team will check your setup on arrival.

These limited sites are only bookable by phone, so feel free to give our team a call on 07 5424 1466 to check availability. 

Fire blankets ($10) and 20kg bags of firewood ($15) can be purchased from the office on your arrival is staying on a fire-approved site.

If not staying on a fire-approved site, we supply wood for the gorgeous stone fireplace in the main camp kitchen and usually have this set by 4.30pm each day during the cooler months of the year for all guests to sit around and enjoy.

Firewood for the pot-belly in the ‘Chill n Grill’ camp kitchen is available on request.

CAMP KITCHEN:

What kind of facilities does your Camp Kitchen have?

Our undercover entertainment space is the social hub of the park, offering a fully equipped commercial camp kitchen - including a communal fridge, BBQ’s, pizza ovens and rustic dining tables. The Camp Kitchen hosts regular live entertainment each weekend and is the perfect spot to catch up with new and old friends.
