The Bournemouth Air Festival is set to return soon for its 2023 edition, and if you are looking to travel to the event then staying over at a nearby campsite could be a good idea.
Thousands of people are expected to attend and if you wanted to avoid trying to find a hotel room close by, then pitching up at a campsite within reasonable driving distance could work.
There are a huge number of campsites to potentially pick from, but we've listed a few which are within a 30-minute drive of Bournemouth.
Campsites are listed on PitchUp.com and are based on the highest-rated within 5 miles of Bournemouth.
