Camping Guidelines

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.

We do ask that campers arrive before dark to ensure the safety of themselves and other campers when setting up.

We hope you have a safe, happy and enjoyable MardiGrass!

Camping bookings are per person, not per vehicle or per tent.

Camping is also available at the Nimbin Showgrounds, before and after MardiGrass.

Camping only in designated areas. There are three camping areas set aside:

  1. Quiet area
  2. Reasonably noisy area
  3. Family area

Keep your space clean and tidy – garbage bags provided.

Bring your own campervan, caravan or tent.

There are a small number of powered sites – first come, first served!

Camping is also available before and after MardiGrass. Book with Nimbin Showgrounds.

Facilities include powered and non-powered sites, a camp kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, kettle, sink, and free electric barbecue), toilets, hot showers, and a rotary clothesline. We also have a dedicated dump point for the benefit of motorhome operators.

Please keep noise in camping areas to a respectable level – be considerate of your neighbours.
