Camping Stoves

Updated over a week ago

Planning to cook some of your own meals at Camp? You'll need to bring your own camping stove, as these aren't provided at the cooking areas. Your stove must meet the safety requirements below — please check before you pack!

Permitted Stoves and Fuel

✅ Screw-on gas canister of maximum size 500g

✅ 'Easy Clic' canisters of maximum size 500g

✅ Methylated Spirits

✅ Methanol, Ethanol, Isopropyl Alcohol

✅ Solid Fuel Tablets

✅ Gel Fuel

✅ Steel or CalorGas canisters ONLY if you are in a LIVE IN VEHICLE with fitted internal cooking facilities only (5kg max)

Prohibited Stoves and Fuel

❌ Pierceable gas canisters

These require the canister to be punctured by the user and don't have any safety features to keep the gas contained, which is why they're not allowed.

❌ Aerosol gas canisters

Aerosol gas canisters (including the CP250) are often used in low-cost camping stoves that place the canister very close to the heat and flame, making them a fire risk. This type of canister and stove is banned across Australia due to the increased fire hazard.

❌ Electric hobs or hot plates

These require power outlets, which aren't available at the cooking areas, so they can't be used at Camp.

❌ Barbecues of any fuel type, plus any charcoal or wood fuels

BBQs of any kind, along with charcoal, wood-based fuels, and Swedish logs are not permitted at Camp.
