Kiama Council will not provide overflow camping sites at The Kiama Showground and Chapman Oval this summer.

This will not be possible in the 2022-23 summer season due to the continued poor state of the grounds following the extended wet weather this winter, and the forecast for further heavy rain over the holidays.
