Are stoves allowed?

No stoves are allowed in the camping area.  There will be a cooking area on site equiped with some basic utensils and stoves to save you having to carry too much!

Are there washing facilities?

There are no dedicated washing facilities like showers on site.  There will be a set of water tanks providing water suitable for drinking and washing on site.  We encourage people to use water sparingly as it is a finite resource but also use sulfate-free and paraben-free alternatives to body washes as they frequently rely on plant-derived, biodegradable ingredients that are gentler on aquatic life and wastewater systems.
