Heading to Woodford? Book a motorhome and make festival life easy
Stay at Woodfordia in a self-contained motorhome — comfort, shade and your own space, with live availability from trusted Aussie providers.
What is Woodford Folk Festival
Woodford is Australia’s largest gathering of artists and performers outside a sporting event — a six-day celebration of music, arts, ideas and community that runs over New Year at Woodfordia, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland of Queensland.
With on-site camping central to the experience (and summer heat to manage), a motorhome keeps you close to the stages with real beds, shade and your own kitchen and bathroom.
