Has anyone been there through the festival in late july?
Any recommendations for camping - knowing we are leaving it a bit late - but we don't need power, so usually have no problem getting a spot somewhere.

We went there last year but drove out as it appeared to be lots of red dirt and no where good to
camp. Seemed a bit run down.
Just as
well as it bucketed down the next two nights and we would have drowned in the mud.
Just wandering if we had the right place ? I must admit we wimped put and stayed in the motel as it was in the mid 40 degrees until it started to thunder and rain.
Make sure you do the pub crawl through the mining fields mentioned above - there are 3 pubs and you can stop off at them doing a big loop.
But allow plenty of time as you will spend lots of time talking to the friendly locals there.
Lightning Ridge is a great place.
