Why go home at 10.30pm?
Camp amongst
the gums
Check into your tent under the stars, just a 30 second walk from the festival. Pitch a tent or swag in Tent City, or park the van and make a weekend of it.
For camping ticket holders
Check in and check out
We can't wait to have you camping with us! Here's everything you need to know so your arrival is as easy as possible.
Camping opens from 9am, Saturday 14 November
Tent City and Caravan Camping each have their own check-in. As you arrive, look for the check-in signs and flags and the site map.
Tents and swags
Tent City
- Park in the Tent City car park next to the camping zone, then carry your gear over (a trolley makes it easy!).
- Check in at Tent City Check-In as you arrive.
- Head through and set up. Sites are first in, best dressed, so arrive with your crew.
Caravans, camper trailers, rooftop campers, camper vans and motorhomes
Caravan Camping
- Follow the Caravan Campers signs.
- Park your van on your site.
- Head over to Caravan Camping Check-In.
Have these ready at check-in
- Your camping ticket (Tent City or Caravan Camping)
- Your festival admission ticket
- Photo ID if you need an 18+ wristband
Please download your tickets or take screenshots before you leave home. Reception can be patchy out here!
Express festival entry
Have both tickets scanned at your camping check-in and you'll qualify for express entry at the main festival gate. There's still a quick bag check at the main gate. Your camping wristband needs to be worn as instructed and can't be transferred.
Pass-outs
Pass-outs and re-entry are generally not permitted, so grab everything you need from camp before you head into the festival. Tent City closes at 4pm and reopens after the last act (about 10.30pm). Caravans stay put once you're set up, as the road closes on festival day.
Checking out on Sunday
Please be packed up and checked out by 11.30am on Sunday 15 November. Take all your rubbish with you and leave your site just as you found it. Thanks for looking after our backyard!
