If you are planning a trip to the Bournemouth Air Festival this year and are looking for affordable accommodation, then look no further.
If you are happy spending a night under canvas, camping is pretty much the most cost-effective option - it also makes for a fun family break too.
Combined with the thrills and spills of the air show, which not only offers entertainment from the skies, but on the land and sea too, and it's the recipe for a staycation you'll never forget.
Very pleased to confirm that the awesome @Aerosuperbatics WingWalkers are the latest additions to the already fantastic #BmthAirFest 2022 line up – see them fly on all 4 days of the UK's greatest seaside aviation event!

South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park
Address: Dorchester Road, Lytchett Minster, Poole BH16 6JB
Google star rating: 4.7/5
What customers are saying: "What a campsite! The facilities are 10/10. The site is excellently maintained, the staff are non-stop, the shop is well stocked, and the cafe is a great addition.
"There is a variety of takeaway food carts that visit which make mealtimes a bit easier.
"The pitches are good sizes, easily accommodating our 6xl tent.
"The addition of a children's play area was the icing on the cake! Can't wait to visit again."
Sionna Camping
Address: Summers Lane, Burton, Christchurch BH23 7JB
Google star rating: 4.7/5
What customers are saying: "My son and I didn't want to leave this campsite! The friendliest hosts I've ever encountered; they've gone to a great deal of trouble to make this site welcoming, cosy, and clean, with lovely extras such as benches scattered around the site enclosed within fly-netted tents, a beer shack, fairy lights etc.
"We opted for a pre-erected tent which was spacious, warm and comfortable, with solar lights strung around the openings. An absolute gem."
Back of Beyond Touring Camping & Glamping Park
Address: 234A Ringwood Road, East Moors Road, Saint Leonards, Ringwood BH24 2SB
Google star rating: 4.7/5
What customers are saying: "We booked for 5 days and enjoyed this camping site so much that we extended our stay for another 3 days. The pitches are huge compared to some other camps. The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean so thank you to the cleaners for your hard work.
"The open-air bar is a fantastic place to meet like-minded people. They are open from approx 4 - 8 pm which is enough to meet people, have a couple of beers and unwind. The early closing stops the drunken and loud walk back to tents and motorhomes that we have experienced from other campers on other sites.
"We met so many wonderful people and our two dogs love the massive dog walking area. The staff everywhere were brilliant. We will be regular visitors to this camp. Highly recommended."
