gold buckle campdraft championships 2026

In short: 

8-11 July, 2026

The Gold Buckle Campdraft Championship returns to Willinga Park from 8 - 11 July 2026, bringing four action packed days of campdrafting, entertainment and atmosphere to the NSW South Coast. With $500,000 in cash and prizes on offer, this year’s championship is set to be one of the biggest yet.

More than a competition, Gold Buckle is a full event experience. In 2026, the championship also steps up with the debut of the Pryde’s EasiFeed National Champion Rider at Willinga Park, adding a prestigious national title to an already huge week of competition.

Beyond the arena, visitors can enjoy food, drinks, trade stalls and a festival style atmosphere across the four days, with live music adding to the experience on Friday and Saturday night. Glenn Whitehall + The Get Ups perform on Friday, with Spindrift Saga and James Van Cooper & The Jimmy’s taking the stage on Saturday.

Adding even more excitement to the Saturday program is the Freestyle Kings performing live in a thrilling live performance for all ages.
