You may have come across Camel Camp at other festivals such as Beacon Fest, Faeryfields, Barefoot, Wickham, Weyfest, The Secret Widget Festival and Todd in the Hole Festival. They have 2, 4, & 6 person canvas tents available, either traditional Bell tents or the elegant Touareg tents, in the style of the Nomadic tribes of North Africa. Camel Camp build lovely camps at all kinds of events, complete with a reception tent and central meeting, seating and shade areas.
The tents come already for you in two specs: CLASSIC or SULTANS CHOICE. CLASSIC comes equipped with floor rugs, door mats, airbeds, and solar light. SULTANS CHOICE comes as above plus full bedding package (sheets, 13.5 tog duvets, pillows etc.) camp chairs, side tables, tea light lanterns, bunting, and welcome pack.
All tents are top quality canvas and unlike modern tents, they keep refreshingly cool on a hot summer day. They are all spacious with good ventilation and built in ground sheets. Camel Camp also provide tea, coffee and cereal every morning.
Camel Camp means, no pitching in the wind and rain, no carrying your heavy camping gear! They will be ready, located in a premium position, just waiting for you.
