As Broken Hill swells with visitors in the period surrounding the Mundi Mundi Bash, we know accommodation is hard to come by. Roadside camping between Broken Hill and Mundiville is not permitted.
The Broken Hill Regional Events Centre & Racecourse, in true outback hospitality style, is opening up the infield of the racetrack to welcome visitors in numbers never before seen in the town!
Please note: Bookings at the Broken Hill Racecourse are suitable for those staying in Broken Hill town before and after the Mundi Mundi Bash. Camping at Mundiville during the festival is free & included in your ticket!
This primitive style camping is perfect for self sufficient campers, while also offering a range of basic facilities. There are generously sized unpowered sites, as well as a limited number of powered sites for those looking for something more.
This is a fantastic base for travellers who wish to explore Broken Hill and surrounds.
Please ensure you read through all the information about Broken Hill Racecourse camping on this page. This is not a traditional caravan park, and it is vital that campers are aware of the facilities and plan their stay accordingly.
Pre purchase of tickets is essential, we recommend booking early as campsites are limited.
Campsites are booked PER VEHICLE (not per person), and the ticket covers camping for all occupants of the vehicle. A booking must be made for every vehicle staying at the Broken Hill Racecourse Overflow Campsite.
Choose your dates and tickets carefully, once purchased, tickets are not refundable or transferrable and tickets will only be available until sold out. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions.
The campsite will be managed by the Broken Hill Regional Events Centre Reserve Land Manager, and all proceeds from your camping tickets will go back in to the Crown Land Reserve for the benefit of the Broken Hill community.
