Camping at a Family Festival

Camping at a family festival opens the door to a world of adventure and togetherness. Here’s what you need to consider for a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience (see also what to pack for a family festival):

Choosing the Perfect Camping Spot

First decide if you want to pick a location near toilets and showers for convenience, or away from them so as to not be disturbed by other users. Do you want to be close to the music so you haven’t got as far to walk – or further away so that again you are less likely to be disturbed.

Either way remember to bring a torch for navigating the campsite during night time. Plus ear defenders and eye patches for a good night’s sleep amidst the festival’s lively atmosphere

Tent Setup and Enhancements

Buy a tent that is easily recognizable as well as stress-free to put up and away. As well as having all the right equipment and spare pegs – especially if the weather turns. Also use flags or lights to personalize your tent and make it easily recognizable.

Inside you can give your tent a festival feel with cushions, pretty lights, a rug, and maybe even artificial flowers. You can get solar powered lights for inside and out of the tent saving money and the planet!
