Hi Guys,

I was just wondering if you are allowed to have camp fires or cook with a wood fired stove at Alum Creek Camp Ground ?

Thanks

From the LPMA website (for Six Foot Track)

The Black Range Camp Ground has a no camp fire at any time rule, due to its location within a State Forest. Camp fires in general are not approved of anywhere on the Six Foot Track. It is requested that all walkers carry and use a portable fuel stove only.


So I guess the official line is Fuel Stove Only. And this is obviously the best LNT policy

There are no signs saying saying either way at the actual campsite. There are fire marks on the ground.
