Caravan Park Campfires

On our last trip we did have camp fires in many of the caravan parks that we stayed at. We usually try to avoid staying at CP, but sometimes you just dont hjave a choice.

We had one of those small brasiers from Bunnings which has the catch tray that you put underneath. We always asked when we checked in and in most cases they had no issue with it at all.

Quite often we just used the compressed logs from Bunnings also when we couldnt get any wood, such as when we were in Alice. Nice small fire with enough heat for a small group to sit around.

Just ask when you check in, and I think that most places will be ok with it. At least that is what we found anyway.

Depends on the CP and state fire rules.
The large busy franchised ones don't seem to allow them but the small remote ones don't seem to mind.

A small fire bucket is sometimes acceptable, depending on the CP etc as others have mentioned. My father-in-law made a small fire bucket on the cheap - see How to make a fire bucket for details.

Hi Bekali
We have just come back from a week in the Sth Gippsland area of Vic. The two van parks we did stay in, both allowed fires, one even offered us the use of a fire pit, and fire wood if we wanted ...how's that for service !
