ABOUT PRE-BOOKING A SITE
Festival campsites should be pre-booked. This can be done via the festival ticket box office when it opens prior to the next festival.
GROUP CAMPING:
Tara Festival is a really popular activity for groups of all types. As the festival continues to grow the organisation of camping grounds will be changing, but we will continue to endeavour to accommodate great options for groups to plan their trip together.
DISABILITY SITES
Available close to the festival entrance and by pre-booking.
AMENITIES
We have toilet and shower facilities available for festival campers, located across the camping areas.
POWER
The sites at the Festival are not powered sites. Generators are permitted from 7am to 8pm.
WATER ACCESS
There are water taps located around the camp grounds, with potable water available for festival campers to refill from. No hooking up is possible.
ON ARRIVAL
Arrival instructions for the next festival to be announced.
CAMP FIRES
Camp fires are permitted in self contained fire containers in all camping areas to keep you warm. It can get cold at night so bring along a few extra blankets also!
Firewood will be available for purchase onsite.
DUMP POINTS
There is an RV dump point at the Tara Lagoon Parklands, right next door to the festival grounds. Due to the large number of people using this dump point during the festival we ask that you please make use of a dump point before arriving in Tara.
PETS
Small pets on a leash are permitted in camping grounds, but not in the festival site. Unless your pet happens to be a camel, it's really important you keep them well away from the racetrack - it's for the safety of our camels, jockeys and your pets too.
