Campfire rules at Ground #2 (New South Wales) | Fireban Australia

Campsites / nsw / Ground #2

Can you have a campfire at Ground #2?

Cataract Scout Camp · Illawarra/Shoalhaven fire district, NSW

CHECK

This is a privately operated campground — the operator sets the fire rules. Many allow campfires in fire rings outside fire ban periods. Contact them before you travel.

A declared fire ban always overrides the operator's rules.

Their website says (checked 12 July 2026, not yet operator-confirmed)

“All sites have campfire facilities (fire bans must be followed)”
