Tent City Accommodation

Tent City is on-site camping in the best location without the hassle of having to bring your own tent or put it up.

Each tent includes two fold-up beds, carpet and a 12v light. All you need to do is bring your own bedding and pillows. Tent City has lit streets to help you find your tent and has a crew on hand to assist if anything goes awry. There is a dedicated car parking area and toilets and showers are close by.

Tent City is available only to Season Ticket holders who have also purchased Camping. These tents are available for 5 nights only (Thursday 1 April - Monday 5 April). Each tent costs $285 (for 2 people and 5 nights) and is booked when ticket purchase opens. There are a limited number of tents so get in early for this great offer.

Entry to the Camping Area

There will be NO ENTRY to the Camping Area at EPIC for SEASON TICKET holders prior to 11:00am on the Monday before Easter. Entry to the Camping Area is through the Main Entrance off Wells Station Road. Gate 7 is also the exit for Campers.

Campers Mini-Store
