Park-specific conditions

Dangerous marine stingers may be present all year. Visit Beachsafe for the latest safety advice.

Camp fires are permitted in above-ground fire containers only. Bring your own fire container and remove it when you leave (including the coals). Bring your own clean, milled timber. Use a previous camp fire site, rather than starting a new one. Gas and fuel stoves are preferred and recommended.
