We've put together a few ideas for Christmas gifts for the Festival Camper this Christmas (2023) we've chosen a few of our best selling products from our Summer Events … great camping gear that our Event Customers love and prove really useful for the Festival Camper …
First the tent … keeping it lightweight and compact The Darwin 2 , Darwin 3 and Darwin 4 small in pack size and lightweight too! Light sleeper or late night take a look at the Kobuk Valley 3 and Kobuk Valley 4 featuring Coleman® BlackOut Bedroom! perfect for the festival field … family camping take a look at a family tent with a wheeled bag … The Coleman Octagon - perfect single space and full headheight too! Looking for something a little more luxurious perhaps more frequent campers … the Coleman® Weathermaster 4 or the Weathermaster 6 also feature a wheeled bag although a little heavier … still handy for the festival field!
Time for bed … the festival field can become a little chilly at night … a minimum 3 season sleeping bag , good insulated mat and thermals can all help keep you warm.. the warmer it is during the day the cooler it can feel at night … layers are better… our best selling festival items are the Tweedmill Hot Water Bottle and the Tweedmill Recycled Rug - great for topping up with a little warmth if you already have a sleeping bag! A simple Inflatable Pillow or one with a few more features - The Zempire Chill Pill can make all the difference to your night's sleep too!
Nighttime light … a simple headtorch is a really useful item to have especially for visiting the facilities after dark …we love this Royal Leisure little dual purpose lantern too great for the occasional camper! Think Solar for charging and larger lanterns - Powerbanks are always extremely popular at our festival events too - charge your phone or your lantern!
Put the Kettle on …. we have a range of small stoves perfect for Festivals , by far the most popular is the Campingaz Bistro Stove supplied in it's own storage case , this handy little stove uses disposable gas canisters. Looking for something a little lighter weight , the Campingaz Bleuet or the Twister (with a Piezo ignition) are both lightweight and compact. Don't forget the kettle! our best selling Kettle at events is the 2l Stainless steel Simple Kettle with a flat base and whistle too! We love the toastie maker , extremely versatile and efficient to use too!
Time for Tea … Enamel is extremely durable and robust … don't forget an insulated mug or insulated bottle too great for hot drinks! A lightweight cutlery set or spork to keep the packing light!
Festival Camping Bathroom ideas …. facilities can be a little basic on the Festival Camping Field which is all part of the fun … take a look at the Pits & Pits festival kit for an all in one without water shower & Shampoo! A travel Towel is a great gift idea too , light weight , compact and incredibly moisture absorbing and quick drying too! Or why not gift a Fleece Lined Changing Robe - Waterproof and Warm too! The festival field toilets can get a little interesting , take a look at the shewee made in the UK this portable urinating device for ladies is always a best seller at events. Fancy a shower on the festival field? The Solar Shower captures the sun rays to simply heat water featuring a Hose and Shower head too!
Take a seat … find a patch on the grass with a Tweedmill picnic rug or take a Lafuma lightweight stool or lafuma lightweight chair!
It's all in the bag … a rucksack and Dry Bag combined are a great way to keep things safe and dry when camping especially on the well trampled festival field!
