Event info

Exact program details are still being finalised, but here’s what we’ve planned so far for your next Easter Weekend Van Nationals!

CAMPING & LOCATION

Just moments away from the Murray River, we’ve been lucky enough to secured exclusive access to the Corowa Showgrounds next to the Corowa Racecourse (Cotton Street, Corowa, NSW 264).

The site features lots of open space, heritage sheds, and shade from gum trees—an ideal backdrop for catching up with old friends and meeting new ones in a relaxed,

natural setting. As there are limited bathroom facilities onsite, we have hired a shower and toilet block from Rows-a-loo for the comfort of attendees.
