Camping at the Illawarra Folk Festival
Stay for the whole experience.
Camping at the festival adds another layer to your festival experience. It’s a great way to meet fellow folk lovers, make new friends and soak up the festival atmosphere from morning to late into the night. And when your feet are tired after a big day of folkie fabulousness, it’s pretty handy to have your tent or van just a short stroll away!
Our camping area at Bulli is limited, so spaces are carefully planned to make room for as many festival campers as possible.
To camp at the festival, you must purchase a Camping Package, which includes: A 3-Day Festival Ticket + Campsite
