Can I camp at Narrows Park?

Camping facilities at Narrows Park include two camp kitchens, showers and laundry.  You need to bring all your own camping gear, crockery and cooking utensils, reusable drink bottles, towels, more towels, and toiletries. All going well the weather will be sunny and hot, so even though our concert venues are indoors, make sure you have everything you need to “slip, slop, slap.”

We strive to be a sustainable festival, and your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated! Please bring refillable drink bottles and use instead of single use bottles. Minimise waste wherever you can, doing a few dishes is a lot easier than finding a new planet!
