Off to a festival this month? There’s no need to slum it in a sea of sweaty tents – sleep in style in a bell tent, camper van or even a comfy lodge.

Alternatives to camping for festivals and outdoor adventure

1. AIRSTREAM TRAILER
Get a slice of retro Americana living and rent an Airstream for the weekend. These beautiful trailers beloved by Hollywood movie stars are essentially tin cans on steroids, stuffed with all the comforts of home. Airsteam Facilities have a gleaming fleet of mobile beauties on offer, sleeping up to 5 people and complete with double beds, fully fitted kitchens and hot showers. They aren’t the cheapest at £2000 for a weekend, but if it’s good enough for Lauren Laverne at Glastonbury…

2. BELL TENT
Okay, so it’s still camping. But sleeping in a tall canvas teepee is MILES away from a little cramped two-man tent in the pleasure stakes. You’ll have tons of space for all your fancy dress and they look the business kitted out with a mattress, some lanterns and a spot of bunting. If you tend to go to a clutch of festivals each year then it’s totally worth investing in one – Bell Tent’s selection retail from £369. Now go make all your Instagram friends green with envy.

3. VW CAMPERVAN
A hippie icon that’s also supremely comfortable, a roadtrip-ready VW is the perfect festival home. You’ll get a dinky kitchen, comfy bed, running water and even extra goodies like hammocks and hampers inside, depending on who you rent it from. Handy website CamperBug lets you search the whole of the UK for vans available to rent near the festival you’re off to.

4. PARK RESORTS LODGE
Take the little ones to a festival hassle free by renting one of Park Resort‘s gorgeous lodges. You’ll be able to escape rain and mud and come back recharged each morning after a luxurious hot shower and a sleep in a proper bed. Lodges start from just £700 and will sleep the whole family.
