Camping at JB Plain

If you’re thinking of camping out during the festival, the primo ‘above snowline car camping’ option is at JB Plain. This is on the Great Alpine Road between Hotham Village and Dinner Plain (closer to the Dinner Plain end). This is within the Alpine National Park. Please ensure you take all rubbish with you. Permits are not required.

There are approx 10 car spots to park on the side of the road. Please be aware that there is only limited spaces so use them wisely, and make sure you’re safely off the road or carpool if possible.

It’s a short walk into the trees, which provide many sheltered spots for camping.

There is a hut, but Parks Victoria prefers people to camp if staying at JB Plain.

There is also a simple ‘outhouse’ toilet.

JB Plain is only a 2km ski to Dinner Plain, where there is a public shelter, toilets, and a number of options to get food including the High Plains Hotel, The Hub, and The Stables.

If you park your car at Dinner Plain, there is a resort bus that runs from Dinner Plain to Big D (very close to the festival gathering point at The General) and Hotham Central. You will need a bus pass which can be purchased online. Tickets and timetable available here: https://www.visitdinnerplain.com.au/getting-here/bus-service/bus-to-hotham/.
