From previous experience I can assur eyou that you will be
camping on top of each other.. if they could get double decker tents, they would demand that everyone use these. Honestly the guy wires from your tent will be crossing withthe people next to you. Traditionally it rains that weekend too, so I hope your got a big dose of patients and tollerance and are real keen on blues and gunga as you will probbaly get high just from passive smoking.. I used to love going to the festival but now it has become a Festy ville.. soory I can't offer any furhter qadvice re
camping but I can assur eyou that all the campgounds will be packed. One alternative might be to camp at Balina and drive in, but then you have to compete with the traffic. you might also try the Byron Bay Beach caravan/
camping ground but it is prime real estate and may cost even more.. The BB council is rmapant when it comes to
camping anywhere else too, if you so much as pull off the side of the road to "rest/revive survive" for 5 minutes they will slap a 300 fine on you..... I have seen council workers and police going along cutting tent guy ropes on illegally camped people and for those that tough it out and figure they will just sleep on the beach.. They send the police out to kick you until you get up and "move along" BB is really a heavily policed and "guarded" little piece of privatised paradise.. the Blus FT AND New years ever anre the 2 weekends you could not pay me to go there. Hope you have a great time and all, but you are a braver man than I
