Camping at the Illawarra Folk Festival
Camping at the Illawarra Folk Festival adds another level of enjoyment to the event. It is a great way to meet like-minded music enthusiasts and very handy to have a tent nearby if you get tired at the late-night sessions. You can camp for the weekend or visit for a day. The IFF has a limited camping area and therefore you are encouraged to book your camping spot early - click here for more information.
