Bans include the use of pot fires. The sparks, embers and disposal of ash from pot fires can cause bushfires.
PWS State Fire Manager Katy Edwards said the seasonal campfire bans are put in place to help protect visitors, communities and important cultural and natural values of our parks and reserves.
Gas stoves and gas barbecues will still be permitted.
Last year there were 285 reports of unattended or illegal campfires on PWS managed land.
“Our priority is community and visitor safety and preventing bushfires from starting. Eliminating abandoned, escaped or poorly constructed campfires is part of our community and visitor safety strategy," Katy said.
“We want to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable camping experience and appreciate assistance from visitors and the community in complying with fire restrictions."
