The Oval – The John Powell Reserve
(camping Ticket Holders Only)
The Banjo Jamboree is fortunate to have the use of the John Powell Reserve as a camping ground during the Jamboree weekend. Sessions around campfires go from morning to night, making for a wonderful atmosphere.
Camping on the John Powell Reserve is for ticket holders only - sites can be bought upon arrival at the oval. Camping sites are $25 for tents & $30 for caravans/trailers.

Dogs:
Please note that while dogs are allowed at campsites, they must remain on a lead at all times. Dogs are not permitted inside venues, including the hotel and beer garden.
The River Reserve – Free Camping
The River Reserve offers a more peaceful camping option by the Loddon River – see Guildford map for location. Especially suitable for larger caravans and liked by patrons who prefer to ‘get away from it all’. Campers are welcome to use the toilet and shower facilities at the John Powell Reserve. Please note fires are not permitted at the reserve.
** NB - There are no 'facilities', the Banjo Jamboree does not manage this free camp site, please leave no trace, even if you are taken short!

Guildford Saddle Club
A special thanks goes out to the Guildford Saddle Club for permitting us to use their space for vehicle access camping. Camping at the Saddle Club is not ticketed.
This is a beautiful site located not far from the heart of the Jambo. There are simple facilities including toilets and a basic kitchen.
Outside Guildford
