Yep, you guessed it - it's raining.

This will be the ninth campout Owen and Thelma Ison have held at their Millbank Road property, and you could probably count on one hand the number of "fine" weekends they've had.

"Yep, it's wet but we'll push on," Mr Ison said on Thursday afternoon.

More than 200 caravans are already on the 21-acre property, which is playing host to four big days.

Walk-up artists have been performing since earlier in the week.

"Everyone's still in good spirits, they know we can't do anything about the weather," Mr Ison said.

"You've got to stay up beat - the crowd's sticking around which is great.

"At this stage everything is still go - we have plenty of undercover areas where spectators can sit, just bring your chair and your gumboots."

It seems every time the Isons attempt to stage their event - the weather plays a role - in 2012 they actually had to cancel the event.

Even 2017 which was also a "wet event", to wet in fact to allow caravans on site, attracted big crowds with Chad Morgan headlining the show.

"We can break a drought," Mr Ison laughed.

"When it was dry previously one local farmer even asked us to put the event on just to bring the rain.

"We've been here before and we'll soldier on."

It just seems it will be at least another year before Mr Ison can achieve his ultimate dream of having 400 vans on the property.

A good line-up of artists have been assembled for this year's event including local talent Peter "Smokie" Dawson, as well as Owen Blundell, Royden Donahue, George Farnham, Brian Letton, Robyn Gleeson, Kingsley and Christine Day, Ernie Constance, Rod, Rhonda, Georgie and Lachie Owen, Ged and Trudy Hintz, Dennis Dawson, Meryl Reinhard, Bryce Rawlings, Rob Breese, Joe Reeves, Christine and John Smith and Darcy and Ally.

Performances started 1.40pm Thursday, with the night show starting at 7pm, featuring Ally and Darcy.

Friday's program starts at 10.30am with a special performance by Terara Public School students at noon and continues through to the night show from 8.20pm featuring the Owen Family.

Saturday's action starts at 9am and continues throughout the day and includes a packed night program from 6.30pm.

Sunday's program kicks off at 7.30am with the now traditional Poet's Breakfast and will continue through until 5.30pm.

Day passes for the campout are $15, unlimited day pass $50 per person and camping pass $75 per person.
