There is a fully-stocked General Store located next to Lake Gkula area near the entrance to the licenced precinct for those items you left behind. The store will be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day and operating on reduced hours between Camp 1 & 2.

The Bushtime Hub is a dedicated information Hub staffed between 8am – 4pm each day.

Services include;

• Information services
• Maps
• Workshop and programme information

Erected tents and beds are available for hire on site at Bushtime. Ensure that you buy your camping tickets first and then purchase your tent hire by phoning them on +61 (0)7 5482 6788, or visit their website. This service is operated by a private company so bookings cannot be made through our office. Please remember that you must purchase a Bushtime ticket in addition to booking into Tent City.

There are no ATM’s at Bushtime. Woodford township has ATM’s and is a 5min drive into town. 

It is a great time to go bike riding around Woodfordia so please pack your bikes. Do remember your helmets and please make sure to wear them at all times riding around the site.

All the Citizen Science talks at Forest Woodfordia are part of the programme and you do not need to book. Just arrive at the Forest Woodfordia tent.

For all of the Citizen Science workshops and walks you have booked for, please meet at Forrest Woodfordia (except Lake tours, Birdwalks and Sewerage Treatment Plant tour – meet at General Store for these).

Please be mindful that you are in the bush along with all the bush critters. Please keep an eye out for snakes, goannas, spiders and ticks that call Woodfordia home also. First Aid is located next to the General Store and is open 8am – 4pm.

Please call reception on 07 5496 1066 or email reception@woodfordia.com if you have any enquiries.

While we continue to improve the facilities please remember that our camping grounds are used only a few times a year. Toilet and shower facilities are adequately basic. Peak times for shower queues are in the mornings and later afternoons so please avoid these times if you don’t want to wait. 

Because of limited use it is not possible for us to provide perfectly level camp sites with well-manicured lawns. Several thousand trees have been planted in the camping grounds over the last five years but they are mostly too small to provide good shade just yet. 

Bushtime is being held during summer, daytime temperatures are expected to be very warm, and evenings can still be cool. Pack for a range of weather conditions including hot days, cold nights and wet weather.

Please remember to bring your raincoats and umbrellas as all concerts are outdoors and will still go ahead in light rain conditions. Concerts may be cancelled if there is heavy rain and/or thunderstorms.

Only families and friends booked together are able to be camping together as one group.

If trying to work this out does your head in, there will be heaps of Happy Campers to help check that you are spaced out enough. Also, there is heaps of space so people who want to camp away from it all can find secluded spaces.

Remember that you are creating a temporary home at your camp. It may be a day retreat from activities as well as a place to crash at the end of the day so please make sure you are comfortable and consider your camping gear carefully. 

Water is always a precious commodity at Woodford as we are self-sufficient and take all our water from on-site tanks. We would appreciate if all guests would join with us in conserving water in the following ways: restrict yourself to one shower a day, turn the water off when brushing your teeth and please bring some water with you. Those are the basics. There will be information posted around the campground and the Bushtime Hub will be open every day to answer any questions. 

When choosing a campsite consider where the water will naturally flow in the event of rain, and pitch your tent accordingly. 

A fold-up camp stretcher allows air circulation and protects your bedding from any water that may enter your tent. Keeping your personal belongings off the ground is also a good idea – a fold-up chair makes a great wardrobe or table. 

Be able to stand inside your tent if possible or have a tarp stretched somewhere for a comfortable covered area. 

All tap water on-site is potable but for conservation and your own convenience please bring all the water you’ll need for the duration.

There is no electricity available on-site for patron’s campsites unless they require it for life-support equipment (disabled camping area). 

Please note that use of generators in the campgrounds is not permitted due to noise and pollution concerns. 

Please only keep one car per campsite in the campgrounds. Other cars should be parked in the front car park. Please do not drive around the campgrounds once you have set-up your campsite. 

*Please ensure your car pass is visible in your front window whilst on-site* 

Theft can be a problem as at any large event, so please do not bring anything of value to the campgrounds other than what is absolutely necessary. All valuables remain the responsibility of the camper. 

We look forward to seeing you at Bushtime this year for a fantastic camping experience.
