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 Woolies) now has camping and a couple of cabins. They have a website http://www.borderrangescentre.com.au


The rates per night are:
heaps of camping sites - $10/adult $5/child < 14
2 x queen bed cabin - $50/room
3 x 4 person bunk cabin - $20/person
8 x powered sites - $22/night
