Barbecues and barbecue areas

Barbecuing is part of summer for many of us, especially when you stay at Valle Camping. At Valle campsite there are barbecues and barbecue areas to borrow when it’s time for a barbecue. You bring the coal, briquettes and lighting equipment.

Borrow a grill

Feel free to borrow one of our charcoal grills that are placed around the area.. If you have forgotten to buy charcoal, please contact us at reception.

Barbecuing is only allowed in a proper barbecue with a height of at least 40 cm above the ground. Barbecuing in disposable barbecues or directly on the ground is therefore not allowed because of the fire risk.

All grilling must be done with caution and at an appropriate distance from all combustible materials. The barbecue must be placed on a flat and non-combustible surface at least one metre away from buildings, tents, vehicles or caravans.

Make sure you know where fire extinguishers and other extinguishing equipment are located.

Used charcoal/briquettes should be left in a special designated place at the service building and should not be placed with other rubbish (used charcoal and briquettes can retain heat and be a firehazard for up to three days!).

For all barbecues on the site, our fire safety rules must be followed. You can find them here.
