Demand for accommodation in Orange is generally running very high. This is due to business requirements (mining in particular) and a succession of sporting and social gatherings - golf tournaments, Little Athletics, and many others.
We advise visitors to Orange for our Great Volcanic event to plan their accommodation needs as early as possible and we offer links to Orange City Council and Cabonne Shire Council websites (see Useful Links page) to assist in finding B&B's, caravan parks, motels, etc
We are able to offer limited, economy accommodation at the Canobolas Scout Camp which is available on the night prior to our event, i.e. Saturday, 23-March.
Canobolas Scout Camp is offering either Bunkhouse or Camping accommodation on the night

- The bunkhouse is limited to 48 people at $40 per person for the night and requires you bring your own sleeping bag, pillow and towel.
