Campervans fans will be glad to hear that BARE loves them too so pack up the VW or why not book with Pamper the Camper and have fun in a tent for the weekend, ahem. Or you could party like a Rockstar with the VIP upgrade package – VIP camping, VIP car park, free showers, posh toilets…ah yes definitely worth it!
