  • Absolutely no flying of model aircraft of any type (including multi-rotors) within the camp site.
  • No engines to be run in or close to the camp site area.
  • No fires of any kind are permitted within the site, disposable barbeques are permitted but must be used in such a manner as to be safe and not scorch the grass, gas and standard bbq’s may be used with care. When cold please dispose of your ash and waste in the metal bins provided.
