WHERE TO STAY
There are options for all tastes and budgets for Festival goers coming from near and far.
​
Unfortunately, camping is not allowed at the Showground festival site but other options are close by as listed below:
​
A stones throw or a slight stagger from the Festival Showground you will find camping and cabins at Glenmack Park. It's a great place for the family with a pool and activities for kids. It books out early, so be quick.
​
Cabins and limited camping are also available at Kangaroo Valley Holiday Park near Hampden Bridge about 1.7 km and a flat walk from the festival site.
​
Free camping is available at Bendeela Recreation Area, 8km from the village, along Bendeela Rd. Bookings are now required, $6 booking fee. Amenities are basic (toilets but no showers) and dogs are not allowed. Please drive slowly at night because there is a lot of wildlife on the road. On Saturday a free shuttle bus will run between Bendeela and the festival site.
Cabins are available at Kangaroo Valley Golf & Country Resort, 390 Mt Scanzi Road, 4.5 km from the festival site.
Wildes Boutique Hotel is recently renovated.
Kangaroo Valley has many other accommodation options including motels, B&B’s and holiday cabins. Renting a cottage for the weekend is a very economical option for groups. For more information visit Kangaroo Valley Tourist Association , Kangaroo Valley Getaways or Kangaroo Valley Stays.
​
Accommodation is also listed on HomeAway and Wotif.
​
The nearest large town is Nowra/Bomaderry, only 25 minutes drive. Pet friendly camping for campervans and caravans (no tents) at Nowra Showground.
