THOUSANDS of people heading to Casino for this year’s much-anticipated Casino Truck Show have even more reason to stay longer and explore everything the town has to offer.
From Wednesday 29 July to Monday 3 August, self-contained event camping will be available at the Casino Showground, just five minutes from the town centre, offering a convenient base for the full weekend. The showground precinct recently underwent a $15m redevelopment and upgrade by the Australian and NSW Governments in partnership with Richmond Valley Council.
The Casino Truck Show is one of the premier heavy vehicle events in Australia, drawing truck enthusiasts, industry professionals, and families from across the nation and New Zealand to the Northern Rivers town.
Mayor Robert Mustow said the addition of the camping sites would encourage visitors to stay longer in the area.
“It allows people to enjoy more of the event, explore our local businesses, attractions and the natural landscape,” Cr Mustow said.
“Providing more accommodation in town is something we are proud to offer.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to Casino.”
Sites are limited, with a two-night minimum stay, and people are asked to book early to guarantee a preferred location.
The showground offers two types of sites to suit all setups:
- Powered Sites (10m x 10m) — spacious sites with power connection for those who need it
- Unpowered Sites (8m x 8m) — generous unpowered sites for those who prefer a more self-sufficient setup
