Dear Mummy, festival season is here and our tent and camping equipment is filling up the hallway ready for a summer of adventures. One festival we are really looking forward to is Camp Bestival, we’ve attended for the past 2 years and every time it gets better and better for us. The older I get the more fun I discover.
Check out our past reviews:
Camp Bestival 2016 – Into Outer Space
Camp Bestival 2017 – Rock Stars and Pop Stars
This year the theme is perfect for me – Camp Bestival Sets Sail!
We love setting up our tent and planning our 4 days at the festival. With so much happening throughout the long weekend its easy to miss attractions and acts. So this year we’ve scoured the Camp Bestival website and made a list of what we are looking forward to this year.
