Tips for 16 yr old DD for first festival(s) this summer

[Rollergirl11]

She is going to 2 festivals over the summer. Truck festival in July which is a smaller, friendly affair and then Reading at the end of August. She has never camped before. I understand that tents don’t tend to make it home so do we buy cheap and cheerful?

Please hit me with your recommendations/advice as DD and I are completely clueless!

DS did reading last year & brought his tent home! I don't think they spend a great deal of time in them though! He got a cheap pop up one person one! Friends had family multi sleeper affairs so took home also as more expensive. Wet wipes are crucial!

For Reading, go to Aldi (just outside the station) to buy water or other supplies as soon as you arrive. The camp site is quite a walk but there are buses and the water taxi boat.

The local PureGym day passes so people go there for showers sometimes
