Liivjärve campfire site lies on the bank of Lake Liivjärv, the sand lake, one of the Kurtna lakes in Alutaguse National Park. It is a small lake of about 4.7 hectares, but surprisingly deep, up to 10 m. It is one of the least species-rich lakes in the Kurtna group, a contrast to the richer lakes nearby. The pine forests on its banks have a dramatic past: large forest fires once swept along the shore. The site has two covered fireplaces and room for ten tents.
