The Tamworth Country Music Festival is held every year in January. The city in northeast New South Wales draws massive international acts and about 50,000 fans from across the world. Country Music plays a pivotal role in culture in the city with the famous Big Golden Guitar. The Tamworth Country Music Festival is often regarded as one of the world’s top music festivals, and it’s the second only to the Nashville Music Festival in terms of its size and reach. With the influx of visitors to the area for the two weeks, accommodation completely book out up to a year in advance. Your best bet is to find a campervan hire deal at Sydney and drive nearly five hours to Tamworth to park your wheels at one of these places. Make sure you book early.

Riverside Camping Grounds

When in town for the Tamworth Country Music Festival, the Riverside Camping Grounds are just a short walk away from all the action in the Tamworth CBD. This central location is also just next to the beautiful Peel River, where you can relax after enjoying non-stop music.

Tamworth North Holiday Park

Tamworth North Holiday Park is set in a good location. It’s within easy reach of several parks, museums, cafes and shopping centres. Powered and unpowered sites are available. Landscaped gardens surround the park, which also features a swimming pool and BBQ facilities.

Fossickers Tourist Park Nundle

If you can’t find somewhere to stay in town during the festival, then Fossickers Tourist Park at Nundle is a great option. It’s a 50 minute drive from the capital of the Golden Guitar but here you can relax in a tranquil setting in the hills. It’s the start of the famous Fossickers Way, which is a scenic 380km tourist drive.

Chaffey Dam Camping Reserve

Here’s another option that’s also a 50-minute drive from Tamworth. But the scenery makes it well worth the drive. Set on the Peel Valley, you can enjoy plenty of swimming, fishing and boating on a beautiful lake. Not to mention the abundance of wildlife in the area. Great music and great scenery… who could ask for more?
