The Commercial listings below were updated in September 2009

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 $12 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.

After years of struggling to provide camping shower facilities that ended up being either non existant or under-par, local engineering mastermind and folk hero, John Hughes, has overseen the creation of some delighfully low-tech showers that we're very proud of.

Please note that Burton's Reserve is a bird sanctuary and dogs are not permitted on the site. If you have a dog, we urge you not to bring it - our venues as well as the campsite are dog free.

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 former Festival President, Leeann Gudden and her husband Ron on 0400 682 099 or 0418 532 160. 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.

Commercial Accommodation

For those who prefer not to camp, a range of accommodation is available within the Huon and Cygnet area.
