Making fire

Before starting a campfire a shovel and bucket with water need to be present. The fire cannot reach above the hip. Table fires and BBQ need to be near the fire pits. After your stay the ash isn’t disposed in the forest, but the drum can be emptied at the pile of ash at our ‘ash tray’ at the waste and recycling area.
