Festival season is just around the corner, which means two things: it’s time to fire up the group chat and get organised. While the perfect festival crew is essential, curating the ultimate campsite to come back to is equally as important.
Whether you’re a festival aficionado or a first-timer, we’ve teamed up with BCF—festival camping experts—to help create your campsite plan of attack for this upcoming festival season.
Create Your Own Tent Palace
The most important place to start is finding the perfectly fitted out tent to enjoy some R 'n R at the end of the day. A tent with maximum space and comfort for you and the whole crew is a must. With options for 8+ people that include surrounding windows to catch a breeze and a front awning for shade, you can enjoy your own space without feeling like tinned sardines. But if you’re looking for something intimate, the four-person Jak and Jill Dome Tent is excellent for a smaller crew. Less set-up means more festival time.
Sort Your Campsite Footwear
When you’re ready to ditch the heavy-duty festival footwear, make sure you have a pair of Crocs on hand for time around the campsite. They’re the ultimate water-proof camping shoes that give your feet a welcomed break after an action-packed day moshing. Not to mention they're quick-drying and ventilation make them perfect for if you’re headed to another wet weather festival like previous years.
Rug Up
Sorting the inside of your tent palace is equally as vital as the outside when it comes to winter festivals. Nabbing the right sleeping bag can mean a world of difference, which is why we’ll be investing in the Hooded Sleeping Bag from Wanderer. Designed with a comfort rating of -6.9°C, you’ll be snug as a bug in a rug when you catch up on that much-needed beauty sleep. As an extra bonus, it’s machine washable so you’ll be packing it for many more festivals to come.
Cover All Bases
We’re all about bringing the party back, so having a central kick-ons spot is a gamechanger. Protect yourself from the elements while remaining the life of the afterparty with a Wanderer Classic Gazebo. Pop in a table and chairs for max functionality and cosiness.
Sort Your Bevvies
Stay Hydrated
Don’t forget to keep the water up between other drinks around the grounds. Having a water bottle handy for time in between the festival is a lifesaver, plus it saves time on pesky lines.
