Proudly sponsored by Spartan Campers, Campervan Campout returns for its fifth year, bringing together live music, campervans, vanlife, family entertainment and festival experiences for one huge weekend at the South of England Showground.
And the 2027 music line-up is already taking shape, with Beatles Dub Club, Dave Pearce and Brit Pop Boys heading to Campervan Campout.
From dancefloor anthems and Britpop classics to a completely unique take on the music of The Beatles, there’ll be plenty to keep the festival atmosphere going throughout the weekend.
But Campervan Campout is about much more than the main stage.
Explore everything from vanlife talks, workshops and demonstrations to wellness sessions, family activities, street food, shopping, campervans and creative self-builds. Whether you’re already part of the vanlife community or simply love camping, festivals and the outdoors, there’s something new to discover around every corner.
Why Come Along?
If you’re passionate about vanlife, camping, music and outdoor living, this is your festival.
Campervan Campout combines the atmosphere of a live music festival with everything you love about the campervan community, bringing together entertainment, inspiration, shopping, wellness and family fun across one weekend.
And because your day ticket covers all three days, you don’t have to try and squeeze everything into a single visit.

Why It’s Different
Campervan Campout isn’t just a campervan show and it isn’t just a music festival.
It brings the two worlds together.
Spend your day discovering campervans and self-build inspiration, meeting people from the vanlife community, shopping for your next adventure, joining talks and workshops, trying something new or simply relaxing with great food and live music.
Whether you already live life on the road, are planning your first campervan adventure or simply fancy a brilliant festival weekend, Campervan Campout is a place to discover, connect and have a good time.
🐕 Dog-Friendly Festival: well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome across the festival, so your four-legged camping companion doesn’t have to miss out.
