BREAKING NEWS! Campfires have returned to Kingsdown Camping! 🔥
Following a site assessment along with the very welcome rain we’ve had over the last week, we have received confirmation from Kent County Council and Kent Fire Service, that we can once again have contained campfires at Kingsdown Camping!
However this is subject to these non negotiable rules:
1. Fires are only allowed in fire baskets hired from us.
2. You must NOT leave a lit campfire unattended.
3. You must NOT load/burn wood above the top rim.
4. You MUST have a container of water on standby.
5. All fires must be burnt out by 11:30pm.
6. No campfires in our woodland or within 5m of hedgerows.
7. Report any fire issue immediately on the red phone outside reception.
Fire baskets will be removed from anyone that doesn’t follow our simple rules.
DISPOSABLE BBQS STILL BANNED
As per the Government guidelines, these are banned from our campsite. We are still allowing the use of gas stoves for cooking and heating water. Gas BBQs also allowed if not heating coals. All MUST be raised off the ground before use.
It really is that simple! So for those who cannot go camping without a campfire, we’d love to welcome you back before the end of the season!
Grab yourself a September getaway with a view like no other!
Only at Kingsdown Camping 🏕️🔥
