Your base camp in Broken Hill.
The Broken Hill Racecourse is the official overflow camping area for the Mundi Mundi Bash. If you cannot find accommodation in town, this is your best option: a dedicated camping area, a short drive from Mundiville and a handy first stop on the way in. See Getting there for the drive to Mundiville.
Staying at Mundiville during the festival? That is covered by your festival ticket and Vehicle Entry Pass - Camping. The Racecourse is for those staying in Broken Hill before and/or after the Bash.
$50 powered. $35 unpowered.
Overflow camping at the Racecourse is $50 per night for a powered site and $35 per night for an unpowered site, before and after the Bash. Campsites are limited and booked per vehicle, so keep an eye out. Book online, one booking per vehicle.
