Camping
For the best festival experience, we recommend staying on-site for the full 3 days, as there will be things to see and do around the clock. Plus, camping is free with a 3 day ticket!
There are hot showers and toilets on site for your convenience.
Campervans will be directed to an appropriate camping area. Please arrive early to ensure that you are accommodated. Please note that we do not provide powered sites.
Due to space restrictions, caravans and camping-trailers will not be allowed on-site.
Fires are not allowed in campgrounds.
Safety on site
Alcohol, glass and pets are NOT allowed through the gate. Searches will occur at the entrance. There are First Aid stations on site, easy to find and clearly marked on the festival site map. There is 24 hour security on site.
Services and facilities
Once you buy your ticket to Corinbank, all you’ll need is your camping gear — unless of course you are only coming for the day. Corinbank offers an array of food stallholders, along with a host of shopping opportunities at Corinbank Village. Be sure to checkout our fantastic range of merch and life’s essentials from the Corinstore. Free hot showers are available to all campers. Corinbank Festival is patrolled by our security team on a 24 hour basis. First aid assistance is available around the clock as well. There is also a disabled toilet available.
NOTE: day ticket holders are not allowed to stay on-site overnight.
Only limited ATM facilities are available, so please bring as much cash as you think you’ll need for the three days.
There is no public telephone on the festival site, nor mobile phone coverage — but a short walk down the track will soon get you in touch with your world again. The best advice is to turn your phone off when not using it at the festival, and make plans to meet your mates ahead of time.
Getting to Corinbank
The drive out to Corin Forest is pretty spectacular. There’s lots of roos in the area so take it slowly and enjoy the scenery!
We’d love you to car pool. If you’ve got spare seats in your car, or you need a ride up to the festival, check out our Car Pooling forum…. You never know who you might meet there!
Once you’ve sorted out your ride, you can follow these directions.
Tips for day visitors
If you’re just coming for the day, you might want to organise a car pool with friends and a designated driver. Plus, if you car pool, the $20 carparking fee will be refunded with Corinstore vouchers. If you want to leave the festival site with your car at any time during the event, you MUST advise the Vehicle Marshalls when you arrive. They’ll place you in the day parking areas. Bring plenty of sunscreen and remember to keep hydrated with the free drinking water on site.
Weather
Canberra in March can be hot during the day but chilly at night, so we’d advise bringing some warm clothes to rug up in, just in case. The average daytime temperature is about 24°C, night time is about 10°C. Click here for details.
