Some campers have been in place for more than a week, such is the enthusiasm for this multi-award-winning event.
Tamworth couple Cliff and Phyll Bird called Boggabri home for 60 years and said the annual grey nomad pilgrimage is vital for local business and tourism.
“It has virtually put Boggabri on the map,” Mr Bird said.
Campfire co-ordinator Anita Maunder said they had 130 campers through the gate by early Thursday and expected numbers to peak at 300 on Saturday.
Displays, demonstrations and day tours run until Sunday evening at Boggabri Showground.
