For the comfort and safety of all campers:
The Golden Bud pass for $150 per person includes 3-nights camping – Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at the Nimbin Showgrounds plus entry to all MardiGrass events! Golden Bud pass can be booked online now or bought at the Showgrounds when you arrive in Nimbin.
The Nimbin Showground is a great place to camp within easy walking distance of the village of Nimbin and MardiGrass.
