Camper Jam 25 - (4th - 6th July 2025)

[Drive Wayne]

The award for the furthest to travel forum members in attendance, goes to @Niall.b and his lovely wife Shawneen from Northern Ireland. Fabulously lovely folk wearing a Blackberry T6 bringing Guinness to the forum party tent!
Thanks guys! Please come again!
Niall sporting a dashing hairpiece!

Saving up now for these moving led eyes, potentially £3.50 from Temu, very effectively spooky at night especially with the live 'voiceover'.
Obviously not one of us!

 

[TeeCeeJay]

Just got this message! We were somewhere in this 'Shanty Town'!

Great to see you all again.

We set up in Home is Where you Park it. About as far as we could get from the main stage, but at least we could swing a cat!

How dare that van park right on your back bumper.... certainly looks tempting...

To be honest, one van did squeeze in to that gap whilst we were out on Friday.

 

[Badjamin]

We had a fantastic first Camperjam and first Forum event. Met so many kind and lovely people although we felt a bit shy to come to the blue gazebo sorry. Lookin forward to the next one.

Question: I have so many Forum van photos. Do I need to obcure reg plates before I photobomb this thread?

I saw the perfect shot down our aisle but my battery died and I can't use an iphone proficiently but.. it seems Es is a whizz and got the below last night

For those in doubt, @Badjamin does exist in real life, great to finally meet him and his gorgeous better half Es.
Hope to see you both at another 'do'...

 

[VanDamMan]

And now the end is near ..And so I face the final curtain.My friend I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case of which I’m certain..I’ve lived a life that’s full..I traveled each and every highway…..I did it my way



Ps Still got home with 50% battery capacity….I Roamer

 

[Badjamin]

Okay well if anyone objects to their van being on here let me know and I'll remove, or obscure number plate on request

I was late to book, but also at CamperJam as well in the Home Is Where You Park It area about as far away as you could get - despite turning up at 11am on Friday. I was initially a bit miffed to be so far away, but actually the lack of crowding and distance from the noise of the various stages proved to be worth it. We wandered through the T6Forum zone on Saturday afternoon, but the place was deserted. By ‘Eck, but you were certainly crammed in! It felt rather claustrophobic.
The home is where you park it area is huge, and there was plenty of room even late on Friday evening for those who may be considering it next year. We would certainly like to go again as it is a good weekend.

 

[Sackmycook]

That's good to know. I think if we ever go, we would probably prefer a quiter spot. Our party days are well and truly over before they began

 

[Jonesy68]

We had a great time too but didn't get there until 7:30ish Friday as we had to leave after the school pick up. We were in Home is where you park it and managed to get a good stop. Great weekend and we all loved it but it did seem too short for us getting there late on Friday.
Didn't get a chance to try and find the forum pitch to say hi. Hope you all had a great time.

Our first year, 3 years ago, was in 'home is where yow park it' and yes, we had more space, but you don't get the 'vibe' of the forum crowd. Priceless.
Next year I will orient the van at 90 degrees in the 7x7m space for a different feel!
I must say the entertainment was considribbly better this year than last, I remember being really disappointed by the quality of the bands last year.
We had a great time, and bought a Dometic 5 in one table/chair/bench/tray/footstool for £15, bargun!

It surpasses the forum rule that everything must have 2 uses.....

 

[Badjamin]

I reckon we'll go forum pitch again next year as you're a lovely bunch but yeah, massively crammed in and not even enough room to put me awning up properly was a bit annoying.

 

[Badjamin]

Es is buying us a festival trolley. Am trying not to get involved. There were so many people with trolleys and dogs and dogs in trolleys! Last festivals I went to were dowload and sonisphere in 2009 and I took a sack truck for all my beer and no one had a trolley hardly. Honestly, you have a 16 year break from festival and the world goes trolley nuts!

Can anyone recommend a trolley. Don't try and talk her out of it and also, it's got to be new and unsullied lol

There was me ready to donate my Ecoflow trolley to you that we 'won' in an auction 2 years ago, but the wife decides she is going to use it for Mr Tumbles 'Bestival' at Lulworth Castle next month to cart the Grand Daughter around in. Sorry matey!

You weren't allowed to donate it! Your good lady wife made it clear that there were plans for that trolley! You sir, are too much like me sir! Hehe

 

[Shaun Witts]

You guys in the club pitch hardly need trolleys - unless you are planning on being further away next year. But they would certainly be helpful for the Home Is Where You Park It crowd.
Anyone make a trolley “drone” that will automatically follow you while avoiding obstacles?

Thankfully the T6Forum space at Busfest is a lot more generous.
