How to Get There
The only way to get to the camp is by
car. If you don't have a car we suggest that you try to car pool with friends. You will need to
organise this yourself.
We will organise car pooling for any interstate or overseas visitors
only. If this is you, please let us know as soon as possible that you
will be coming so that we have a chance to organise this. Please contact
info@play-learn-burn.com.
If you get lost, please call 0431 074 229 and we'll help you find
the camp.
Accommodation
There are 3 choices for accommodation at SpunOut - dorm, tent or camper/vehicle.
The SpunOut ticket price is the same for all.
There are 4 large dormitories, with bunk beds, on site which sleep 16 to 22
people each. There is a family dorm, couples/mixed dorm, male dorm and
female dorm. No bedding is provided so you must bring your own. You will

and pillow.
Alternatively, you can pitch a tent and camp. The grounds
around the SpunOut site are grassy and shady with plenty of room for camping.
If you have a camper van or some type of liveable vehicle you prefer to sleep
in, then you may do that also. There are no powered sites.
Please note that the dorm rooms can be quite noisey has they are attached
to the main hall. If you plan to sleep in a dorm, we suggest you bring
