Facilities
We can accommodate up to 100 camping and this will be spread over approximately 40 allocated camping sites.
This is a basic Council campground, therefore toilets & drinking water will be provided, but no other amenities.
However there is a great swimming hole in the river which runs around the event base, for a post run wash off.
Strict ‘Lights Out’ times will be observed, and no noise is to be made after these times.
Lights Out : Friday 9:00pm and Saturday 11:00pm
Catering
Greg and the amazing team from Gourmet Shuttle will be set-up and camping out with us for the duration of the weekend. They will be serving from from their food truck, from their normal menu throughout the weekend, providing options for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning and Saturday lunch.
What better way to recover and savour the feeling that comes after a big day on the trails than sitting down to a slap-up meal over a drink or two with newly made friends?
