Spring Buggin’ – The Camp Out
Enjoy a relaxed weekend of camping with friends, family, and fellow vanlife enthusiasts over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend!
What's On
Spring camping is when the birds are the loudest, and all the flowers come to bloom. Kick-start the season in style over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend!
Enjoy a relaxed weekend of camping with friends, family and fellow vanlife enthusiasts for up to 3 nights as preferred over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend, 2-5 May 2025!
There will be a pop-up bar courtesy of Island Ales and a range of hot food offerings on-site for breakfast and dinner, plus hot and cold drink selection.
All welcome (including non-VW camping). Club camping also available.
Advance purchase tickets are available for the absolute bargain price of £25* for up to 3 nights camping, up to 5 persons per pitch. One ticket per pitch, not per person!
The price will increase on the gate (subject to availability) so early booking is highly recommended.
Camp-out ticket holders may arrive any time from 3pm Friday, 2nd May and are free to make the most of the long weekend by staying right through until Bank Holiday Monday.
Taking place at the picturesque Retro Staycations glamping site in Ryde, the weekend will be full of family fun and is not only great value for up to 3 nights camping, but a lovely way to chill out and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend. Dogs welcome.
To book your tickets, head to the Retro Staycations website.
