Questions people actually ask
- Why do so few campsites allow fires?
- Fire risk, ground damage and neighbours. The sites that do allow them almost always confine fires to raised pits or designated spots, and sell the wood themselves so nothing green or treated gets burnt.
- Can I bring my own firewood?
- Usually not. Most sites ask you to buy theirs, both to control what gets burnt and to avoid importing tree pests.
