The festival, held at the Gordon street Recreation Reserve, attracted more than 2000 camp oven enthusiasts.

Organiser Lee Clarke described the two-day event as "fantastic''.

"It was a great day,'' she said.

"We probably had about 20 entrants in the main camp oven competitions, which is a huge increase on last year.

"We had about 85 separate campers, which was also a pretty big increase on last year.''

Ms Clarke said among the highlights of the festival was the woodchopping and country music entertainment.
