Hartwood Campfires and Country Music

Event date: 2026 dates TBC (held annually during the Easter holidays).  

Every Easter the gates of Hartwood, just south of Tambar Springs, open for the public to enjoy a long-weekend of first-class country music and entertainment in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

A campfire stage set amongst the trees presents a combination of professional and ‘walk-up’ artists and performers every night, from Monday through to Sunday.

Meanwhile, a second stage provides non-stop professional country music and bush poetry entertainment from Friday afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Campers are encouraged to come early and most do.

Hartwood has been called the people’s festival – pets and children attend for free. Hundreds of caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and a sprinkling of tents gather here for the week to enjoy the great country music entertainment, a laid-back camping experience, and a special camaraderie with their fellow country music fans.

Bathurst - NSW RVFT

Bathurst, gateway to central New South Wales, is located at the junction of three highways – the Great Western, Mid Western and Mitchell Highways. It is a beautiful city located beside the Macquarie River, with a town centre that features historic buildings and leafy parks. Bathurst was declared a town site in 1815, making it Australia’s first inland settlement, and the town boomed after the discovery of gold there in the mid 1800’s. It is renowned for its history and you will have fun wandering the streets discovering the plaques, monuments, parks and buildings that contribute to the story of Bathurst. The Visitor Information Centre has maps of self-guided walks and heritage drives for the city and the region, as well as information on where to throw in a line or spread out your picnic blanket. They also have a fully restored Cobb & Co coach. For more history on the region visit the Bathurst District Historical Society, which is housed in the very impressive Courthouse building. In addition there is also the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, which includes a complete T-Rex skeleton. For those more interested in the modern day, you can drive around the Mount Panorama motor-racing circuit. At the bottom, visit the National Motor Racing Museum and look out for the photo opportunity just outside, where you can become ‘King of the Mountain’. Just outside of Bathurst are the historic gold villages of Hill End, Sofala and Wattle Flat, as well as the heritage listed Rockley and Trunkey Creek, gateway to the lovely Abercrombie Caves.
