CAMPING
In 2008, for
the first time ever, the Nimbin Agricultural and Industrial
Society (A&I) opened the showground for camping and parking
for the MardiGrass weekend. They helped minimise the impact
of so many visitors to the village over the big weekend. That
was such a success they are going to keep doing it.
They are offering $20 per head
campsites for the weekend, with toilets and showers. Their
volunteers will be camped there for the weekend to help out,
as well as cooking country breakfasts with bacon and egg rolls
a specialty. People who camped there last year loved
it.
You can book ahead by sending
a $50 money order per person to the MOB,(MardiGrass Organising
Body), PO Box 177, Nimbin, 2480. $50 secures you an all weekend
entry to MardiGrass and a campsite at the showground. We will
keep a register and when you arrive at the showground and
identify yourself your pass and site will be given to you.
Camping ground opens Wednesday.
Additional nights $10 per person. If you want this camping
with hot showers arrive early. There will still be plenty
of other camping, but with cold showers or none...
Friday night full reception
open til 10:30pm. Later than that, you will be directed to
a temporary area, and a site will be allocated in the morning.
$50 per person for camping with showers and a full weekend
pass.
Just turn up. You will find a space to camp. The
all year round places will be booked up, but there are camping
areas that get opened up just for the MardiGrass. They usually
involve paying a fee at the gate for however long you are
staying. You don't have to book.
If you have other camping space available, contact
us and get it listed here.....
Nimbin Rox Backpackers have parking and camping along
their approach roads.
Border Ranges Centre (Wadeville
