Three nights in a bell tent at Camp Bestival on the Dorset coast from £245 per person. Family-friendly glamping that doesn't require you to actually sleep in mud.
The deal
Bell tent accommodation at Camp Bestival, 31 July–3 August. Per-person price is £245. Room only (you'll sort meals yourself, though the festival site will have food vendors). Sleeps multiple people per tent, so actual cost per household depends on group size.
Why we like it
Camp Bestival is genuinely well-regarded for families—decent infrastructure, proper beds rather than airbeds, and actual festival entertainment included. The Dorset coast location means you're near real beaches if you want to escape the crowds. At this price point, glamping with a music festival attached is reasonable value.
Catch: you're paying for the festival experience, not just accommodation. If the lineup or vibe doesn't appeal, you're overpaying for a bell tent. Also check whether this price includes festival entry or if that's extra.
How to book
The Boarding Pass Club has packaged this deal—head to their site and follow through to the Camp Bestival booking page. Availability will tighten fast at this price, so don't sit on it if late July works for your crew.
