[SOLVED] On a camp site only accessible on foot (lemmy.ca)

Went to a camping in the Laurentians in Québec (Ste-Agathe) and there were those things near some camp sites. The sites are only accessible by footpaths. No car access. And if you bring a bike, you have to walk it up a hill, so I doubt they are bike racks.

EDIT: I have sent an email to the park and they have been kind enough to reply. It's just a type of fireplace with a grate. They didn't give more info than just this. Thanks to everyone for pitching in!

Where is the news on this one?!

I've just got a reply and edited the post. It is indeed a fireplace with a grill. Just that nobody uses them.

I thought I'd go back soon but it may take a few more weeks so I sent them an email a few hours ago. If I don't have an answer I'll ask in person, maybe in a few days, maybe in a few weeks.
