CAMPING

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.....

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. The A & I don’t get the Government grants they used to get and urgently need funds to maintain the place. They can also help 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.

MARDIGRASS 2012 ALL WEEKEND PASS AND CAMPSITE $100 per person

Includes $50 for a campsite with toilets and showers for all or part of Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights

If you are doing the Show-ground camping, just turn up at the Show Ground's gate in Cecil Street and identify yourself to get your pass/es and camping spot.

Showground open from Wednesday.

If you are just buying a pass, go to the Town Hall Information Booth on arrival to identify yourself and collect your pass/es.

Camping ground opens Thursday. If you want camping with hot showers arrive early. There will still be plenty of other camping, but with cold showers or none...

2012 MardiGrass tickets with Camping

The main reason to buy ahead is if camping is required, to guarantee a camping site with showers. Otherwise passes can be bought on the day from the information booth outside the Town Hall. You can't miss it.
