Holiday Park Stanthorpe Fire Pit Policy

FIRE SAFETY: To protect our guests, wildlife, and surrounding communities during the current dry conditions, open fires are not permitted within the park. We’ll update everyone once we are comfortable that the risk has eased.

You can still join us at the communal fire pit for a catch up and a sing-along once or twice a week.
