For a single-genre festival, CMC Rocks QLD is Australia's biggest international country music festival.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhich Queensland festivals can you camp at?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGympie Music Muster, Woodford Folk Festival, CMC Rocks QLD, Mitchell Creek Rock n Blues, Minden Music Festival and Big Red Bash all have on-site camping. At Mitchell Creek and Minden, the camping is included in the ticket price.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhat is the best Queensland music festival for families?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMitchell Creek Rock n Blues is 100 acres of family-friendly bushland with kids' areas. Woodford runs its own kids' festival and under-fives go free. Cooly Rocks On and Groundwater are free and street-based, so easy with kids in tow. Big Red Bash and Queensland Music Trails also let under-fives in free.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhen is festival season in Queensland?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPretty much year-round, but it peaks twice. August to November brings the big outdoor run (Gympie, BIGSOUND, Brisbane Festival, Savannah, Groundwater, Airlie Beach), then February to June picks up again with Agnes, CMC Rocks, Blues on Broadbeach and Cooly Rocks On. Winter is when the outback and classical events happen, because that is when it is comfortable out there.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EDo you need a car to get to Queensland music festivals?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the city ones, no. Blues on Broadbeach, Groundwater, Cooly Rocks On, BIGSOUND and Brisbane Festival are all walkable from accommodation. For Woodford, Gympie, Mitchell Creek, Minden and anything outback, yes, and for Big Red Bash the drive is genuinely part of the experience.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003ECan you get a hotel at Big Red Bash?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENo. There is no hotel or cabin accommodation in Birdsville during the festival. You need a tent, a caravan or a fully self-contained setup. Birdsville Tourist Park has powered and unpowered sites and sells out early, and there is free camping on the Town Common south of town, with no facilities.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n","richText":true,":type":"teq/components/text"},"spacer_42051294":{"spacerType":"whitespace","paddingSize":"small",":type":"teq/components/spacer"},"text_1352891757":{"text":"\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003EDiscover more Queensland music festivals\u003C/h2\u003E\r\n","headlinesColor":"#be4ffd","richText":true,":type":"teq/components/text"},"masonry_grid_article":{"layoutVariation":"standardWidth","notch":false,"clipTopPadding":false,"componentID":"masonry-grid-articles_62518145","items":[{"title":"9 reasons you should experience Woodford Folk Festival ","description":null,"image":{"src":"/content/dam/teq/consumer/global/images/destinations/brisbane/blog-images/2024_BNE_WoodfordFolkFestival1.jpg","alt":"Lady dancing in the crowd at Woodford Folk Festival","link":null,"quality":60.0},"tag":{"colour":"#365ABD","text":"Events"},"link":{"href":"https://www.queensland.com/sg/en/things-to-do/events/music-and-festivals/woodford-folk-festival-guide","target":""},"pid":"_content_teq_sg_en_things-to-do_events_music-and-festivals_woodford-folk-festival-guide","date":null,"experience":{"editorialContentType":["Events"],"pathToPurchase":["Planning"],"heroExperience":["Participation Events","Music Events"],"subExperience":["Festivals"],"brand":["Community","Humanity","Mind"],"destination":["Sunshine Coast","Brisbane"],"segment":["HVT18-49 partner","HVT18-49 solo","HVT18-49 group"]}},{"title":"Your go-to guide to CMC Rocks QLD 2027","description":null,"image":{"src":"/content/dam/teq/consumer/global/images/destinations/brisbane/blog-images/2024_BNE_CMCRocks_1.jpg","alt":"Festival-goers watching the stage at CMC Rocks QLD","link":null,"quality":60.0},"tag":{"colour":"#ffc54d","text":"Event"},"link":{"href":"https://www.queensland.com/sg/en/things-to-do/events/music-and-festivals/cmc-rocks-country-music-festival","target":""},"pid":"_content_teq_sg_en_things-to-do_events_music-and-festivals_cmc-rocks-country-music-festival","date":null,"experience":{"editorialContentType":["Event"],"pathToPurchase":["Dreaming"],"heroExperience":["Music Events","Country Life"],"subExperience":["Festivals"],"brand":["Community","Mind","Heart"],"destination":["Brisbane"],"segment":["HVT 18 -
