welly's (hopefully not, but never fails to lash it)(still great)
spare dry clothes
wet wipes
vodka
air bed & pump
torch for tent
a smile

dunno about the cash, but we always take about £150.00 but the less cash the better coz there is a cash machine that opens(long que but better than ur money lost)

I would recommend walkingboots/wellies, not trainers. Shorts or three quarters, not jeans, loo roll(basic living essentials really, toothbrush, sleepingbag etc)

Their is a page about this on the offical v website, i think its near the bottom right of the page, the camping pages.

I would also recommend finding the camping page, it tells you all about the camp sites, which are nice and which are not so nice.

and NEVER forget your ticket

And about the money, it all depends on what your taking, (how much booze/food)

There are a few threads for newbies but to save you searching here goes

Tent
Airbed (foam roll mat if you can sleep on a board)
sleeping bag (or cheap quilt that you can leave)
small gas cooker or BBQ
Torch & batteries
Plastic or disposable plate, cup & a cheap pan
Loo roll & wet wipes
small bowl (you can boil water and have a festival bath, always makes you feel better)
deodorant & soap
Toothbrush & paste
Other personal bit  
bin bags (can almost fix any situation)
small camp chair or inflatable for night time festi chit chat
wellies, hoodie for night (can get a wee bit nippy with all that alcohol floating around your blood )
few changes of clothes and make sure they are in a waterproof bag, you will be really cheesed if all your clothes get wet.
Food eg, pot noodle, beans & sausages, burgers for BBQ, bacon, them meals in a can can be OK chrisps & lots of chocolate   
and as much drink as your little arms can carry     
you could get a cheap wheel barrow or trolly for lugging all your stuff (depending where you park it can be a hellllll of a mooch to the camp site)
