Ahhhhh Camp Bestival is still massively on our to do list. Every year the dates haven’t worked for us but hoping we might be able to swing it this year – it sounds amazing and we’d love to go!
There’s so much to do at festivals’ like this and it’s so good that there’s more catered towards families with children x
I’ve been looking at taking my kids along to this festival for years, its quite close to me and looks like it would appeal to all the different ages which is really important for a mum to a toddler, tween and teenager
I’d love to take our son to a festival as it would be my first too. We were due to go to another thus year but with so impending move to another country we’ve had to postpone it. Hopefully once we’re settled we can look at some festivals for next year and Camp Bestival is definitely on my radar!
Every year I see Camp Bestival and keep meaning to look more into it, so this post is perfect! It looks like such fun and the fact it’s family friendly makes it even better 🙂

This looks great fun and my daughter loves mr maker. Where is it located?
The programme sounds amazing and the pictures and footage of it always make it look like it has a great atmosphere. Definitely one to consider!
I’m really desperate to go but it always seems to fall on dates when we are on holiday x
