Bushfires and Camps
This is a time of significant challenge for all of us involved in camping. Whilst those who have unfortunately lost their sites or suffered at the front line of the fire are obviously in greatest need and foremost in our efforts of assistance, the impacts of this disaster will have significant medium to long term effects on the industry. How we work collaboratively through this time will have a direct impact on camping within Victoria and beyond. The response from fellow campsites offering support via the ACA has already been significant and we call on all members to continue their efforts working in a spirit of cooperation and compassion.
