You'll be able to hire a larger range of items individually, or book a package to suit your style: Tent Village or Glamping.
We're offering both self-serve and pre-pitched this year:
- Self-serve allows you to pick-up and return your gear to an allocated locker, and handle everything in between. This means that you can select your site, and you'll set-up and pack-up your gear yourself. Instructions will be available. The exact location of the self-serve lockers will be communicated close to the date, but they'll be close to the Carter St entrance, and available 24/7 throughout the festival in case you're coming/going early/late. Note that self-serve still requires you to book in advance, our team will then put the gear into a locker ready for your pick-up day.
- Pre-pitch allows you to simply turn up with everything set-up for you, and leave it for us to pack-up at the end. Once your tent location has been selected (1-2 days prior to arrival), you'll receive directions to locate your tent via email. You can also get power and/or air conditioning with Pre-pitch packages and Airpole tents!
If you still have any questions after reading this page - or you would just like to speak to a helpful human, give us a call on (03) 8840 7014!

Basic power: All you need to charge a couple of phones.
More power: For fridges and more heavy duty appliances (under 1500W).
Airconditioning: In the height of a Tamworth Summer, this can be a good option! It won't make your tent cool on a hot day (it is still a tent after all) but it will definitely take the edge off, and allow you to get a whole lot more sleep!

FAQ's
Do I need to set-up my own camping gear?
This is up to you. If you'd like us to set-up and pack-up your gear, make sure to select the pre-pitch option on each item in your booking.

Yes! The Riverside Campground is designed for all ages, so you’re welcome to come along with 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 are ordering. For example the 2 person Glamping package sleeps 2 people. If you order 2x 2 person Glamping packages, you have ordered 2 Glamping tents, which will sleep a total of 4 people.

Toilets and showers are included in all packages. Note that whilst the entrances are manned while they're in operation, there isn't security throughout the campground.
