Nariel BandBanner

Camping.

People attending the festival set up camp at the Nariel Creek recreation reserve, about 12 kms south west of Corryong via Colac Colac. The festival ground has pit toilets, a very basic cold shower and a beautiful creek to swim in. There are some picnic tables on the green, and more are planned for other areas of the Festival site.

We encourage people to minimise their rubbish by reducing, reusing and recycling.. We provide separate bins for rubbish and recyling, and request that all festival goers use them correctly.

Costs.

Camping and entry charges for the festival represent possibly the best value for money for any festival anywhere. The fee is $20.00 for 7 nights camping and all reserve activities, ($15.00 concessions).. $7.50 for dances at Cudgewa. Children under 15 free, but must be accompanied by an adult.

If attending only for New Years’ Eve, the cost is $5.00 at the gate, or $10.00 if camping for the night.
