We are looking forward to welcoming you at our new Bluesfest campground at Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm in 2010
The area set aside for camping will be very spacious and set in real nature, right next door to the Festival grounds, where the musical adventure takes place. The camping ground will offer a general store, showers, toilets and shuttle buses into town.
Our aim is to look after everyone and to ensure that all needs are cared for.
Please note: Camping tickets are per person, not per campsite.
If you would like to come to Bluesfest and camp without the hassle of setting up, or searching for hours for your old tent in the garage, buy your camping ticket and then hire a tent.
Arrive at Bluesfest and have your accommodation already set up and waiting for you.
All tents are fitted with beds, mattresses and internal lights. They are fully screened with a vinyl floor covered with carpet.
Following prices are for the entire weekend – up to 6 nights in total. Arrive Wednesday 31st of March and depart Tuesday 6th of April.
