Camp Bestival is a British music festival, the "little sister" of Bestival, both organised by BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank. It is held annually, in July, at Lulworth Castle in Dorset[1] and is targeted at families with small children.[2] In 2019 it had a capacity of 10,000.[3] It won the Best New Festival award from the UK Festival Awards in 2008[4] and Best Family Festival in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014.[5]
In 2018 Camp Bestival went into administration, leaving many workers unpaid. However, a festival of the same name, curated by Rob da Bank and his wife Josie, took place in 2019, at the same site and on the equivalent weekend.[6]
