- 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 and is targeted at families with small children. It has a capacity of 10,000 adults and 5,000 children. It won the Best New Festival award from the UK Festival Awards in 2008. The first Camp Bestival in 2008 included headliners Chuck Berry, Flaming Lips, Kate Nash, Billy Bragg, DJ Yoda, Kevin Rowland and Black Kids, but was troubled by the overcrowding of the campsites leading to many people camping by their cars in the nearby carparks. The 2009 festival, held over the weekend 24-26 July, included musical performances by Florence and the Machine, PJ Harvey - in her only UK solo appearance of the year, Will Young, Tinchy Stryder, VV Brown, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Mercury Rev, Goldie Lookin' Chain, Wild Beasts, Roots Manuva, Candi Staton, Bon Iver, Phoenix, Alessi's Ark, Alela Diane, Micachu and the Shapes, Golden Silvers and Laura Marling. Comedians appearing included Frankie Boyle, Marcus Brigstocke and Lee Mack. Other events included a barn dance, a show by the English National Ballet, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage tent. Changes from the previous year included a late-night Silent Disco to avoid waking children, and the number of toilets were tripled.
