Public campfire sites

Vaasa has many public campfire sites that can be used by residents and visitors for free. Bring your own firewood, lighters and barbecue equipment with you, and choose a place where you would enjoy grilling sausages!

The campfire sites have concrete rings, where the fire can be made, and benches for people to sit on. Users should bring their own equipment for putting out fires and dispose of any rubbish in the bins provided.
