Accommodation

Whether you’re into stargazing from an old swag, lapping up the luxuries in top-notch hotels or anything in between, we’ve got you covered! Check out the full range of accommodation options below.

Savannah in the Round has camping facilities within the Festival Precinct, including: 24/7 security, medical support, a general store, toilets and showers. Plus, your camping armband includes access to a free shuttle service between the Round Yard Arena and Mareeba’s town centre from Thursday to Sunday (schedule to be released prior to the event).

NB: For those staying further afield - in the Tablelands, Cairns or Port Douglas - a return daily shuttle from these destinations can be purchased alongside your festival ticket. Links are supplied below.

Camping

We’ve got three Festival camping options available:

Campgrounds (self-catered)

This option is available to those who supply their own swag, tent, caravan, camper, RV etc., with both powered and unpowered sites up for grabs. To help keep like-minded patrons together, campers can elect to stay in either the Family/Quiet Zone (with a late night noise curfew) or in the Groups Zone. Whichever zone is chosen, there are three campsite sizes to consider:

Large (powered or unpowered): 14m x 7m
Medium (unpowered only): 7m x 7m
Small (unpowered only): 3.5m x 3.5m

Rent a Tent (pop-up village)

Enjoy camping but won’t have all your gear with you? Don’t need the hassle of setting up your own site? Rent a Tent in our pre-constructed pop-up village! Every tent is fully floored, carpeted, and fitted with an internal 12V light, and you can hire a comfort pack (including bedding, pillows, camp chair, esky and table) or simply BYO. We’ve got sites to accommodate groups of 2, 3, 4 or 6.

Glamping (full-service luxury bell tents)

Looking for a little something extra from your camping experience? Our 5 metre deluxe bell tents include linen, towels, mats, lighting, a welcome pack and furnishings, accommodating up to five people. You can choose your bedding configuration - whether it be 1 Queen, 2 Queens, a Queen and a Single or single bedding for up to 5. The glamping area features adjacent toilets and showers, with a dedicated area for guests to use hair straighteners / dryers etc. (BYO) and a chill-out/communal area for our glamping guests to relax, enjoy a cool drink, and use the phone charging station. Feeling peckish or in need of a caffeine fix? Our friendly volunteer crew will gladly source these items from on-site vendors and deliver to the glamp zone.

Mareeba/Tablelands

Not into onsite camping? Fear not! There are some fantastic accommodation options right across the Atherton Tablelands. From AirBnbs to resort style lodgings at Lake Tinaroo, a variety of daily express shuttles will operate between key locations and the Festival (precise route details and times to come) or you can choose to drive yourself and park onsite. For the inside scoop and personalised advice on accommodation around Mareeba and the Tablelands, contact Janet Greenwood at the Mareeba Heritage Museum and Tourist Information Centre on (07) 4092 2906 or visit@mareebaheritagecentre.com.au.
