TAMWORTH 2026!
15/01/2026 - 26/01/2026
In 2026, Wallaroo Camping Hire will again provide camping solutions at the Riverside Camping Grounds.
You can book a large range of items individually or get a package to suit your style: Tent Village or Glamping.
Our pre-pitch service means you simply turn up, and everything will be set up ready for you. Then, you leave it for us to pack up at the end of your stay! We'll confirm your tent location at least 2 hours before you check in and email directions so you can locate your tent.
You can also get power and/or air conditioning with Pre-pitch packages and Airpole tents!
Our communal tent is a great way to escape the sun, providing shade and airflow. Chairs, tables, and other items you'll use at your tent or in the communal space can be booked below.
To make your trip as cost-effective as possible, we've built in the entry fee to the Riverside Camping Grounds, including one car per tent. Please note, the Riverside terms and conditions still apply to your entry and stay in the campground.

More power: For fridges and heavier-duty appliances (under 1500W).
Airconditioning: This can be a good option in the height of a Tamworth Summer! It won't make your tent cool on a hot day (it's still a tent, after all), but it will definitely take the edge off and help you get a whole lot more sleep!

FAQ's
Do I need to set-up my own camping gear?
No, we set up what you've hired for you!
IS THE RIVERSIDE CAMPGROUND FAMILY FRIENDLY?
Yes! The Riverside Campground is designed for all ages. So bring along your family or your friends!
What does 'quantity' refer to when I'm booking my package?
When you order, the quantity is the number of packages you're ordering. For example, the 2-person Glamping package sleeps 2 people. If you order 2x 2-person Glamping packages, you've ordered 2 Glamping tents, which will sleep a total of 4 people.
Where is the campsite located?
Around sporting fields alongside the Peel River. The main entrance is on Carter St, with a secondary entrance on Plain Street. See this map from 2025 for reference.
How far is the festival site?
The Riverside Campground is a few minutes walk from Toyota Park and the CBD. So it's close to everything you want to access!
Where can I park?
You can park within the Riverside Campground, close to or alongside your tent. Your hire includes one car per tent.
I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE TENTS, ARE THESE EXACTLY WHAT WILL BE AT TAMWORTH WHEN I ARRIVE?
The images on this site represent what will be at Tamworth but are not necessarily the exact tents that will be at the festival. The images include an accurate representation of what each package will include, except the Glamping package, which doesn't include air conditioning. But you can add air conditioning if you'd like to.
What amenities are included?
Access to toilets and showers is included in every package.
Please note that whilst the entrances are manned while they're in operation, there isn't security throughout the campground. Padlocks are available on Tent Village and Glamping packages.

I'm coming with friends and would like to camp near them - how can i make sure we're close to each other?
Please make sure that your tents are on the same booking. Our team will do their best to have you situated close to each other - keep in mind that logistics can make this more challenging, particularly if you're booking different types of tents/packages etc.
Where exactly within the riverside campground will we be?
Unfortunately we won't know precisely until close to the festival, but you'll receive clear directions in your email prior to arrival.
