Festival camping is different from trail camping. You need comfort, you need power, and you need light. Weight still matters — you're carrying it from the car park — but you're not counting grams the way you do on a 5-day hike.
The Festival Camping Priorities
- Sleep — you're dancing until 3am. You need to recover.
- Phone power — everything is on your phone: tickets, maps, photos
- Light — finding your tent at 2am in a dark field is not fun
- Comfort — you're here to enjoy, not endure
Sleep: The Make or Break
Most festival-goers bring a cheap inflatable mattress that deflates by night 2. The alternative:
Camp & Go Inflatable Mattress — $41.99
Inflates in 30 seconds. Doesn't deflate overnight. Comes in 4 colours. Takes up almost no space in your festival bag.
Silk-Touch Pillow — $21.99
Festival sleeping bags don't come with pillows. Your jacket-as-pillow strategy stops working by day 2. This pillow packs to the size of a fist and inflates in seconds.
Power: Keep Your Phone Alive All Weekend
Charging queues at festivals are brutal. The Solar Power Bank 20,000mAh ($44.99) charges in the sun outside your tent all day, then keeps your phone alive through the night. 20,000mAh = multiple full charges. For a 3-day festival, this means you never queue for a charger.
Light: Find Your Tent at 2am
The Solar Lantern ($24.99) serves two purposes at a festival:
- Marks your tent so you can find it in the dark
- Lights up your tent interior when you get back
Leave it on dim outside your tent. You'll never spend 10 minutes looking for your tent again.
