Where to stay

Jambalaya campground

This year the Jambalaya campground has moved on site, creating a more intimate festival atmosphere for everyone. You will never know you are only 15 minutes from Auckland City when you are set up in the lush bush surrounded grounds of Corban Estate.

Even though we live in Auckland, my partner and I decided we wanted to camp at Jambalaya so we could fully immerse ourselves in the festival spirit. It was such a good decision. It meant we were up bright and early to take part in the first morning yoga class and could participate in workshops all day and pop back to the tent whenever we needed.

Jambalaya Festival Participant, 2011

The main music stage has moved indoors this year, ensuring everyone a good night's rest. The campground has flushing toilets, hot showers and 24 hour security.

Your camping pass allows you to camp Friday 6th April – Sunday 8th April (From Thursday 5th April if you are taking part in an immersion course). The pass is only $30 per person regardless of how many nights you camp. Children 12 and under are free.

You can book your camping pass when you book your festival pass on the registration page.
