Jumping at Camp Bestival
Bestival, Latitude, Roskilde, Benicassim, Glastonbury and Big Chill. From iconic music festivals, to little known gatherings, there is no denying that summer means one thing: pitching a tent in a muddy field and getting to grips with your inner musician. On this page you'll find a tonne of information about music festivals across the world and how to make the most of them. You may even find one you never knew existed.

Check out this great gallery of San Francisco's lesser-known knees-ups sent in by FogBay.

Or this one of mountain festival Snowbombing 2009 by reader Fergal McEntee.

    Bring a second purse/wallet

    Posted by camping123 6 May 2009

    Leave your main wallet at home. If you lose your wallet all you'll lose is the money you came with and the one card you brought for emergencies - much easier to deal with. In the meantime, all that other stuff (stamps/library cards/loyaltycards etc) is safe and sound at home.

    Don't rely on walkie talkies for the children

    We thought they'd be a great idea for keeping tabs on pre-teen kids - of course so did everyone else and all we could get was everyone else's conversations!
