No camping allowed at Kiama Showground or Chapman Oval this summer

No camping allowed at Kiama Showground or Chapman Oval this summer
October 18, 2022

Kiama Council has advised it will not be providing overflow camping sites at the Kiama Showground and Chapman Oval this summer.

Through its Kiama Coast Holiday Parks, Council normally allows holidaymakers with campervans, caravans and tents to set up at these locations, to meet the heavy demand of the Christmas and New Year period.

However this will not be possible in the 2022-23 summer season due to the continued poor state of the grounds following the extended wet weather this winter, and the forecast for further heavy rain over the holidays.

Council has made this decision based on the significant cost of repairing their reserves, as well as the many safety risks to guests and maintenance staff.

Campers who regularly camp on these sites, and those on waiting lists, have been advised that the overflow camping will not operate for the upcoming summer season.

Kiama Council is encouraging those planning camping visits to the area to contact Kiama Coast Holiday Parks and Destination Kiama teams for help with alternative locations.
