Camp Doogs is a camping and music festival held in Western Australia's South West region. The festival has featured a number of Australian and international acts. It is held yearly in the Shire of Harvey but in previous years was held in the Shire of Nannup.
History
The festival was founded in October 2013 by Perth music collective Good Times Arts Inc. The festival has been an annual event except in 2018, when a hiatus was announced; in December its return was announced for April 2019.
Event
Camp Doogs presents a range of music, visual art and activities under its unique brand and DIY aesthetic. It has set itself apart from other festivals in the country through its secret lineup, not revealed to festival goers until the day of the event. Dance music has been a significant component of the festival with recent years introducing the Deep Doogs stage with touring DJs and producers. Visual art and activities have always been a major feature of the festival with WA artists contributing installations to the festival each year. Activities such as cheese tasting yoga, art and craft have been staples at Camp Doogs.
