Swanage Bijou Camping
The closest campsite to the festival has extended its season for us. It’s jsut past the main beach car park, so very walkable.
Herston Campsite
Herston Campsite is about a mile from the festival, so you could walk there and back (we’ve also arranged an evening train service to stop near the campsite). Many festivalers recommend it.
Tom's field
Tom’s field is another firm favourite of many folk festival visitors. Although it’s a bit further out of town, we are very happy to recommend it.
Swanage Haven Guesthouse
Swanage Haven is a boutique guest house, we know many festival goers have recommended. It’s about 1/2 mile from the festival. Click here.
