Camp Bestival is all about bringing back the British Holiday Camp... Bestival style! A place where Hi de Hi camping capers meet the spirit of early festivals and as well as entertainment, comedy, and literature.
There will be a full programme of music, spoken word, comedy and literature. The acts for 2009 have not yet been confirmed.
Early bird tickets are on sale, an adult weekend ticket is priced at £120, or £60 for a child (aged 12 to 16), with children under-12 free (but require a ticket), and campervans cost £60 per vehicle. Campervans must be specially adapted for people to stay in. If your vehicle is longer than 7 metres you will need to purchase two Campervan Tickets. Cars will not be allowed into the Campervan area at any time so consequentially Caravans, Trailer Tents etc are not permitted.

As well as evening entertainment until the early hours for those wanting to dance, there's fun for all the family at this festival. There's a Kids Area filled with things to keep little ones of all ages entertained all day long in a jam packed haven for kids and their parents. Plus Lulworth Castle has its very own Animal Farm where the kids can get up close to their super-friendly animals.
There's luxury tents, tipis, yurts, bivouacs, airstreams, and gypsy caravans available, or bring your own outdoor living.
In 2009 organisers are promising even more marvels and merriment plus bigger and better campsites, incomparable family facilities and more car parks.
Camp Bestival has a dressing up theme each year, the theme for 2009 has not yet been announced. Bestival's Dressing Up Area will be on hand to help the adults get dressed up and there will also be a separate Kid's Dressing Up Area (& Catwalk) so the little'uns can get involved too!
Festival goers can expect a return of the Heavenly Healing area, the Restival chill out zone, The Dingly Dell Trail, the Groovie Movie Solar Powered Cinema, a Happy Campers area, and perhaps even some Medieval Jousting.
Disabled Info:
Camp Bestival's organisers are committed to making the festival as accessible as possible and great efforts are being been made to achieve this. The Lulworth Castle Grounds are predominantly flat and are partially serviced by a network of paths. However, Camp Bestival is an outdoor event utilising fields and farm land that could pose problems, particularly in wet weather. With a little help here and there though it should definitely be manageable even in adverse weather. Carers can apply for a free carers ticket and a disabled pass. The Disabled Camping Area is positioned near to the main Lulworth Castle entrance and to the Main Stage. Vehicles with a blue badge (or similar) can park in the disabled camping area. Friends will have to park in the main car park, however. There are charging points for electric wheelchairs available upon request and disabled toilets onsite. Contact the organisers if you have further questions.
More information will be here when available.
