ABOUT PRE-BOOKING A SITE
Paying for a camping site when you buy your festival ticket guarantees you room within the festival camping area. IMPORTANT: Pre-paying for your camping DOES NOT reserve you a particular camping site number or location. Your site location will be allocated to you as you arrive at the entry gates (with the exception of GROUP CAMPING).
GROUP CAMPING:
Groups of 4 campsites or more may contact us to reserve site location. This can be done by contacting Linda in advance on camping.tarafestival@gmail.com
DISABILITY SITES
Limited wheelchair/disabled access camping is available close to the festival entry. Please contact Linda well in advance to reserve one of these sites on camping.tarafestival@gmail.com
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
If arriving between 8am to 6pm Wednesday to Friday, you will be met at the Entry Gate by our lovely volunteers and they will show you to your sites. If arriving after these times, it's important to please read the notice board at the gate house to see where to set up your camp. If you have pre-booked a particular site location this will be marked for you on the notice board. No arrivals after 9pm.
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.
