Jungle Love Camp Out

Overview

Jungle Love Music & Arts Festival isn't taking place in 2023, with the impacts that inflation is having on budgets getting in the way of its plans. Still keen to hang out in Jimna, soak in the event's laidback vibe, kick back in a campground surrounded by luscious greenery, go for a swim in the creek and BYO booze? Enter the Jungle Love Camp Out.

Jungle Love's organisers are quick to point out that this isn't a festival. Rather, the team is taking inspiration from community-driven events. So, this entire two-day affair from Friday, September 8–Saturday, September 9 has been designed by attendees. The tunes, activities, games, lessons, workshops, parties and themes — basically, they've all been crowdsourced.

The aim: a cracking two days and nights that still goes big on music and arts — and, of course, community. To head along, two-day tickets cost $120, Saturday-only passes are $90 and you'll pay $35 on top to bring your vehicle.

Jungle Love Camp Out is being split into themed camps within the main camp, named Jambala, the Wonky Queenslander, Forest Feels and Kinbaku. Each hosts its own activities, whether you're keen on having jam or just chilling out.

And, yes, the Jambala stage is back — hosting a set program (including possibly some surprise sets), and also welcoming impromptu performances.
