Camping overview

As Camp Bestival's name suggests, we place a lot of emphasis on making sure your campsite experience is the best it can be. There will be 4 different types of camping field (plus a Campervan area) at Camp Bestival 2013 - each with car parks relatively close by to reduce how far you'll need to walk with all your kit (phew!), and each with their own sets of showers, loos (many of which will be of the eco-friendly and non-smelly compostable variety), tasty food stalls, recycling points and more. Once again this year all campsites will be open on Thursday to give you an extra day to arrive early and set up camp - you'll have to buy a Thursday Entry camping ticket (rather than Friday Entry) which are on sale here: www.ticketline.co.uk/camp-bestival The Main Campsites are located near to the Magic Meadow field and you just need to turn up, pick your space and park your own tent. Camping in the Main Campsites is included free with your event ticket. This area has been divided up into 2 coloured zones, Purple and Yellow... just to help you find your tent. Most of the area in these campsites is for family camping although there will also be a signed area which is for non-families. Camping Plus returns to Camp Bestival 2013 for those of you that want to guarantee yourselves a healthy amount of reserved camping space. For an additional fee, you'll get a guaranteed plot which you can select when you book using our new online theatre-style booking system, and all the plots can be individually booked so you can ensure the whole of your party are camping side by side in adjacent plots. All this plus a dedicated car park and entrance and quick and easy access to showers, flushing loos and top notch cafes so breakfast will only be a few brisk strides from your tent door. The Boutique Campsite (bookable in advance in addition to your festival ticket) is where you will find the beautiful and luxurious Tipis, Yurts, Squrts, Cloudhouses, Podpads, Bell Tents etc. Please check the other articles in this section for more info and to book direct with the suppliers. [NB. we have more than one supplier of Tipis and Yurts so please check out all the options before you book]. The Tangerine Fields Campsite will be located in its own field next to the main campsites and contains ready-pitched and fully-equiped tents that you can hire in advance plus Gypsy Caravans. Again, please check the other articles in this section for more info and to book. There will also be a separate Campervan area for which you will need to buy a separate campervan ticket in addition to your event ticket - click here for more info. Caravans & Trailer Tents are also welcome - a separate ticket will be needed in addition to your event ticket - head over here for more info. We will publish a site map 2 - 3 weeks before the event which will make this all a little clearer! :-)
