Activities:

Camp Bestival has a host of activities for the whole family throughout the weekend, ranging from dreamy diversions to awesome adventures. Almost all of our activities are free but there are a handful that are paid-for or must be pre-booked…

Trampoline Park:

Can’t remember your seat drop from your full twist, or your tuck jump from your pike?
Maybe it’s time to get back in the air.

Step onto our Olympic-standard trampolines and rediscover the feeling of flying. Whether you’re trying trampolining for the first time or reliving old skills, this is all about confidence, movement, and fun.

Our experienced, British-qualified coaches lead structured but relaxed sessions, helping participants safely learn the basics, improve technique, and build confidence in the air. With our new Olympic-style surrounding, safety is prioritised without losing the excitement.

Suitable for ages 4+, these sessions are perfect for festival-goers looking to burn energy, try something new, or simply have a bounce. Expect smiles, laughter, and that unbeatable feeling of leaving the trampoline better than when you stepped on.

No experience needed. Just turn up, jump in, and let the trampolines do the rest.

Accommodation:

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 are several different types of camping and accommodation fields at Camp Bestival – 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 tasty food stalls, recycling points, sets of showers and loos (many of which will be of the eco-friendly and non-smelly compostable variety), and more.

From general camping to camper van, to Glamping… This amazing festival has it all!

General Campsites

Access to the General Campsites is included in the price of your Camp Bestival ticket. You simply need to arrive with your own camping gear and find somewhere to pitch. The campsites are spacious and have access to showers and toilets.

Campervans, Caravans & Trailer Tents

We have three separate areas for Campervans, Caravans & Trailer Tents; General, Front Row and Kids’ Garden, in which you can buy a pitch for your campervan, caravan or trailer tent. The General fields are situated behind the main campsites, the Front Row field is adjacent to Camping Plus a short walk from the main arena, and the Kids’ Garden field is close to the Lower Kids’ Garden.

Hospitality Camping

Our most exclusive festival experience, Hospitality Camping is a secluded campsite located at the heart of the backstage compound with Hospitality accommodation for hire or BYO pitches for your own tent or motorhome, close to a dedicated car park with a concierge buggy service to assist you with your luggage and a 24-hour reception area. The campsite has an array of sophisticated creature comforts and exceptional facilities, including hot showers, pamper tent, free sauna, luxury toilets, charging hub for electronic devices, complimentary pastries, fresh fruit, kids’ breakfast boxes and hot drinks, fast track entry to the main arena, and access to the Paradise Garden hospitality area.
