There is plenty of room at our patrolled camp site, situated on the edge of the Cygnet waterfront, within easy walking distance of all festival venues (see the map below). Camping costs $10 per person for the weekend. Pay for your camping wristband at the Festival office and then choose your own site on a first come, best dressed basis. The area is partitioned into "Early Birds" and "Night Owls" to minimise disturbance. Showers are provided from Friday to Monday morning at 9.00am and men’s' and women’s' showers will be a different times in the same block (included in the $10 fee).
The Cygnet Football Club does a great job of providing low-key, friendly security and we urge you to use the Burton's Reserve camping area, if you are not booked in to the Cygnet Caravan park administered by the Top Pub (03) 6295 1267. Regrettably, we can't guarantee your safety from disturbance if you are camped on public land elsewhere in Cygnet.
There is some parking for campervans at Burtons Reserve and the Top Pub may allow self-contained campers to park at the back of the pub over the festival weekend, so speak to the publican or manager there when you arrive.
