Great Sandy — National Park · South East Coast fire district, QLD
Open fires are generally prohibited in Queensland national parks unless a fire ring or fireplace is provided at your camping area. Use a fuel stove where possible.
Fires only in provided fire rings/fireplaces; bring clean-burning firewood — collecting wood in the park is prohibited.
Their website says (checked 12 July 2026, not yet operator-confirmed)
“Braziers are the only campfires permitted. They must be raised off the ground at least 200mm and enclosed. Keep a clear space of at least 3m around the fire. Never light fires on the ground. Never leave a fire unattended. Always completely extinguish all fires before leaving an area or going to bed. Embers can and do start bushfires even at night. If conditions as deemed unsafe (such as bush fires close by) we may have to close for visitors' safety. Fire restrictions can be imposed at any time and with immediate effect. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to have a campfire. All guests and visitors must comply with staff instructions. Stoves, barbecues and other appliances powered by burning liquid / fuel are subject to the same restrictions as campfires.”
