London to Camp Bestival: How to get to the Dorset-based music festival from the capital

Camp Bestival 2023 is set to kick off this weekend, and just a few hours from the capital, the Dorset-based music festival is not too much of a trek for Londoners.

While there are plenty of festivals happening across the capital this summer, many city dwellers will no doubt be travelling outside London for some of the UK’s biggest music events.

The four-day Camp Bestival kicked off this Thursday (July 27) and is set to wrap up over the weekend on Sunday (July 30). Big musical names, including the likes of Grace Jones and Eurovision icon Sam Ryder, are just some of the acts set to perform at Camp Bestival 2023.

For those who are yet to decide how they are travelling down to the event from the capital, there’s no need to worry. Festival goers can make their way by both train and coach.

We break down how Londoners will be able to get to the music festival from the city.

How to get to Camp Bestival 2023 Festival from London via train

Londoners heading to the Dorset-based festival will be able to travel to the music event by South Western Railway services from London Waterloo. Festival goers can opt to get off at Wareham or Wool, as both stations are close to the event.

The complete journey from Waterloo to Wool takes approximately two and a half hours, while the journey to Wareham is slightly less. Local taxi services will be available at both stations, which will take Camp Bestival attendees to the festivities.
