CAMPING

Camping in the community is free.  Visitors are welcome to camp in the community over the three nights and days of the Festival, meeting residents who enjoy the opportunity the festival provides to spend time with friends and family who often travel great distances to take part in both the sports and the cultural programs.  Bush toilets, public toilets and ablution blocks with showers are scattered all over the camp grounds.
 
Some areas near the camp ground are ‘Restricted Resident Areas’.  Please be respectful of the homes and local residents of the Barunga community.
