FAQs

Do I need to book a campsite?

Yes. Reserve a festival campground or local holiday park well ahead — powered sites go first.

Are powered sites available?

Some parks offer power; many festival areas are unpowered. Bring solar, batteries, or plan to charge off-drive time where allowed.

Where should I pick up a motorhome?

Sydney and Newcastle are the closest major hubs; Brisbane works for longer trips. Choose based on flights and your pre/post-festival plans.
