First Night Stay. You can check-in to Dashville’s campground from 10am. Check out by 11am on Saturday.

You’re welcome to bring whatever camping/caravanning set up that suits your requirements. Once checked in, you can wander the site to choose your desired space/site to set up camp, whether it be a caravan, tent, camper, whatever. There's no space restrictions. Everything is charged per person so this allows freedom for you to set up however, wherever.

-       Campground is unpowered. We normally have limited powered camping sites for an additional cost, but these will be unavailable this weekend.

-       We have hot showers and flushing toilets available around the clock, with access to power should you require it.

3. Book the Bus - we have an exclusive bus company operating buses to and from the Tim McGraw concert for those staying at Dashville, It’s a one off fee to take you to concert and bring you back for $25. We suggest you book this, as it’s the most convenient method of getting in and out of the concert regardless of whether you like to sip on the vino or not.

Bus shuttle times are provided closer to the event, once concert /gate opening times have been announced by the venue/promoter. Generally first bus gets you there for gates open and then pending quantity of passengers, there will be a later service again. It is your responsibility to ensure you can make the bus once they have been scheduled, though please know, we’ll also do our best to ensure you get to the concert.

If your small child requires a seat, then they will also need to purchase a bus ticket.

CONCESSIONS

Please note that ‘kids under 12 are permitted to camp at Dashville for free, but will need their own seat on the bus.
