camp dues 2024

Camp dues in 2023 were $685. After a detailed budget review process, the Lovin’ Oven Core Crew have factored in some essential projects and housing upgrades to calculate a 2024 camper fee of $1050pp. This covers operational, ongoing costs, essential work, services including fresh water, toilet and grey water pump outs, food and drinks for the whole camp and the stock required to gift bread all week.

We will be calling out for a $200 commitment deposit to hold your space if your application is successful. This deposit is non-refundable for change-of-mind, but can be negotiated in extenuating circumstances up to 60 days before Gates Open.

PLUS an air mattress and linen, PLUS doona/duvet/blankets. PLUS a playa bike with basket and lock.

2024 One-off Amenities Fee: $300pp

This is fantastic value and saves a world of pain and waste, especially if you are travelling in from afar, as most of us do. We don't guarantee everything will be in pristine, brand-new condition, but you'll have a roof over your head, comfort around your body, wheels to whizz around on and more space in your suitcases for all those fabulous costumes! If you're sharing accommodation, we can't guarantee single mattresses, but do ask.

We have set up this way to make it easy for our camp mates to join us wherever they live around the globe. But don't be fooled...we're not a plug 'n' play camp. We come to work hard, gift hard and play hard...all in strict adherence to The 10 Principles.
