Keep your little ones occupied with all sorts of ‘hands-on’ fun in the Kidz Paint Yurt! Pull up a pew and get stuck in, making jewellery, key-rings and being creative with pottery painting too! For the more energetic kids they also have bouncy animals, skipping ropes, hula hoops and much more!
Open all weekend for kids of all ages, there is plenty to make, see and do!
We've teamed up with the largest provider of recreational tree climbing in the country, The Big Tree Climbing Company to offer unique experiences in the trees at Camper Calling for the whole family.
They will teach you how to enter a tree’s canopy using ropes, knots and karabiners, whilst being securely attached in a harness at all times. Once at the top of the tree you will gain an experience which can’t be found on the ground and if you’re feeling brave you could try some branch walking before returning safely to the ground.
Learn a new skill at Camper Calling!
The wonderful team from Black Goat Adventures will be on hand to teach you the art of Slacklining. Test your balance and learn a new skill.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your time of booking for a quick safety briefing.
TIGHT, BRIGHT NEON LIGHTS
Hello Friday night RAVERS! Your Friday theme is ‘Tight, Bright Neon Lights’. Think 90s rave with 80s fashion. The bigger, the bolder, the better. Night will fall, the DJs will take charge and your UV paint will illuminate the dance floor. Glow sticks at the ready, kiddos.
INTO THE JUNGLE
As the Ministry of Sound would say, Jungle. Is. Massive! Are you an explorer lost in the wilderness? Your favourite wild animal? Or a tropical palm looking absolutely fabulous in the sunshine? Fun for all the family. We can’t wait to see all you cool cats ‘n’ kittens in your Jungle attire!
SEA CREATURES AND MUSICAL FEATURES
It’s competition time and we want to see you get creative with this theme! From a Little Mermaid scene to the Spice Girls… a Saxophone-playing Octopus… an accordion-wearing Crab… the more inventive and crazily-interpreted, the better! At 12pm in the Chaos Corner tent, ringmaster Gacko will be ready to judge your fabulous attire! Prizes to be won!
The Magic Teapot is a lovely little oasis hidden away in our Lakeside Field. With the fire always burning and the kettle always simmering, the friendly teapot crew will be ready to offer you a refreshing cup of tea and coffee while the musicians play and sing, encouraging all to join in!
A place to sit and soak up the atmosphere with a cuppa, simply watching and taking it all in, or becoming part of the action.
Shh! Camper Calling’s worst kept secret IS BACK!
Head into the woods and find your voice as our DJs battle it out for crowd participation. Infamous and a heck of a lot of fun for all the family, head on in for the quietest disco in town!
Please don’t hold on to the headphones throughout the weekend. This will make it a fairer experience for everyone; Headsets will then never become low and other people can make great memories too!
These headphones have no purpose outside of this specific silent disco either…so there’s really no need to take them. Return them after your disco session so the fun can roll on!
Thank you ❤️
Join Stellan from the wonderful Salsa Souls and get two stepping over at the Carnival Stage! With classes everyday, grab your partner, dip those hips and learn some new moves to bust out over the weekend!

Roll up, roll up! Uncle Tacko and his incredible Imaginarium have arrived at Camper Calling!
Handmade Theatre have been with Camper Calling from the start and will be returning in 2023 with a new production!
Tell Me a Story: ‘Everyone has a story to tell and a memory to share. Unlock yours in this family adventure down memory lane, experience stories of the people, places and objects we hold dear.’
Having worked closely with care homes that support those living with Dementia over recent years, we have found that music, storytelling and objects have brought to life memories that have been stored away, held close. This project has allowed us to collect stories, from older and younger audiences to look at the journeys of our lives through creative exploration. What does childhood and growing up feel like to different people, at different times, in different places?
The show itself will see musicians, performers and storytellers come together with puppetry and song to tell these stories and unlock memories, suitable for all ages
