Camp Quirky '23 - The ULTIMATE vanlife Festival?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Having been to numerous vanlife festivals over the last few years, it's fair to say, there's a lot of fun to be had.
Most have a fairly regular format....tried, trusted, re-packaged and delivered in a field - Awesome times with friends!
This was our first Camp Quirky though and we had high expectations, not least because it was the most expensive we've attended so far, so something had to be different right?
Marketed as the most eco friendly and handcrafted of van festivals and powered entirely by solar, we were keen to see what the hype was about....

Loved this guys! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us at Camp Quirky and we really appreciate authentic reviews of the event, it helps is to continue making it better each year for attendees. I'm sorry I didn't get to say hello in person but hopefully next time! Linzi x
Thanks Linzi, we had a blast and Lyndsey loved providing a spontaneous breath work facilitation in the wellbeing area after so many requests from followers present at Quirky. We'd LOVE to work with you guys properly next year! 🥰
Hello Andy, Lyndsey n lik bleu , great video certainly felt the love at this festival.
Some lovely looking vans about and Lyndsey wow you made quite a few people happy n felt relaxed.
A video gem this one, take care safe travels.
Cheers Darren, glad you liked it mate…Much love to you fella! 👊🏼🫶
I’m not a spiritual person but I could lie there and listen to the calming voice of Lyndsey all day. Suffering from anxiety, watching your videos always makes me feel so calm! ❤
So pleased to help in any way…Big hugs & much love 🥰🫶

Hope to meet up with you again at camper jam in early July. Keep up the cracking work Andy. Stay safe in your travels.Steve n jojo in our little red trafic Toby.
Awe, thank you so much guys! Appreciate that & we’ll see ya soon! 🫶🥰

Love your healing vibe too. I'm a Gong Practitioner and hoping to take my gongs to Camp Quirky 2024 ❤
Amazing, we look forward to that next year! 🥰🫶
Stay positive. The queue is part of the adventure. 😎🙌🙌
Mate, you’re right, the queue wasn’t too awful….Apparently, it took a lot longer last year to get in 🤷♂️
@@OurVanTales Cool.
I bought you guys a coffee. 👍🏼 But didn’t ask for my address and I really want one of your stickers. Hahahah. X
@@charlessamways7766 Did you get my email Charles mate? Need to get your sticker out 🥰
Guys, thank you very much for the video fantastic again
Thank you so much 😊 🫶
Wow! I remember this show in the early years with about 12 vans now look at it! Great vlog guys, thanks. ✌
It’s certainly a sell out, BIG show now 🫶
I was there too saw you both never got around to saying hello. Think on me I had to pay for my four dogs. It was expensive. The worse thing is one of my whippets was I’ll during the whole weekend so my whippet didn’t get out too much. It was nice festival but the price still bugs me. Hope you both had a lovely time 😊 there was loads of lovely vans ❤❤
Oh no, that’s a hell of an expense for you then…Hope all’s well now with your poorly one. Great festival but at a price ££££. They certainly have the upper hand though with a sell out on tickets 🤷♂️. Hope to see you at one of the other meets ups 🫶
Thanks loved it . Loved the singing ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻 🫶
What a great song and fantastic voice. Is the song on the open mic one of your own. Very talented
Thank you so much, but no, the open mic song isn’t my own 🥰🫶
Oh yeahhh what a surprise when you looked in the prize T6 - I had no idea a mag would be in there! Great video as ever, thanks for taking us to the event from far. 🤜🤛
It completed the ‘look’ for sure! Awesome magazine (feels an injustice to call it that tho) 🫶
Nice video, looks like a great show, loved the music too- great talent, all the best, David & Rachel 👍
Cheers you two, appreciate that 🥰
What’s a great weekend. Great job guys👍😍🇦🇺
Thank you Dave! 👊🏼

Hey hi…Thank you & great to meet you guys too! 🫶
Great vlog 👌 awesome to see Lyndsey doing her thing with the breath work again but her singing and guitar playing was a really pleasant surprise!
The young lady playing was also very nice!
Can’t beat good music with good people 👌
Andy I felt your pain at the beginning 🤣
Take it easy you two.
Mark
Cheers so much Mark, very kind. Blinkin queues…Mind you, we heard from many that it was far worse last year, with some taking 4 or 5 hours + to get on site 😱
Loved this ! ❤❤ ……gr8 content as always 👍
Cheers Steve 🥰🙌
Expensive!
A tad steep! 😳
Awesome feel good watch, love ur vids guys 🤜🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻 🫶
Such beautiful souls 💓💓
Thank you Julie 🥰🫶
3:26 oh wow, how comes we haven’t seen more of this beautiful absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much 🥰
Great vid as usuals
Thanks Terry 🫶🙌
Good job you didn't need a tow out like we did at willow field's that's when you know you've had a wicked weekend Good video guys might bump into you one day
Yeah, the ‘tow out’ can be a real bonding session & the marker of a great weekend! 🫶🥰
Great video guys,one to put in the calender next year for us I reckon.Hopefully catch you both at Vanlife in a few weeks 👍
Yes, not long now mate & thank you 🙏🏻
0:25 it is what it is….. exactly don’t worry about it just be happy
I know 🤭
Great video, it was a great show, would love the breath music... Titus
Yes, sorry mate, Lyndsey tried but needs ya number...I'll inbox you about it
@@OurVanTales Done thanks
Great to bump into both again…I let the kids do the breath class with you this time as I’m still getting over the last one at Van life eats lol TTFN x x x
Lovely to see you too beautiful 🥰🫶
Lovely meeting you guys in the flesh, We were parked up just in front of you and spoke to you a few times normally with us all having a beer in our hands.😅 Lots of love The Scottish Crew ❤
Yay…The Scots! Big love guys 🥰🫶
I love your black long coat Lindsey.❤ what's the make hun?
Thank you…It’s a DryRobe 🫶
Yehhh. I missed Lindsey’s energy last video, although was a good video. Im pleased she is back. Need all the Witch vibes 💛
🤭 Oi! Make you right though…🫶
Nice to have met you and blue on the Friday Andy✊
Thank you & you too!
Andy, I think you suffer from a little bit of Van envy at these do's!!?? Go on, put a shower in for Lyndsey 😆❤
Hahaha 🤣, maybe, just a little…But no, there’ll be NO shower going in 😉🫶
Great video as always guys. Andy! Where did you go in hull where that electrical course was? Could you tell me the details. Cheers fella
Jordan 😃😃
Cheers Jordan mate, the 12v electrics course was arranged by @uniqueoffgrid (Instagram). If you give Adrian a follow, you’ll see when he’s doing another. 🙌
@@OurVanTales thanks for replying buddy 😃 that’s brilliant thank you!
Hope you and Lynsey are both well 😄
Definitely one to try 😉
See you there next year…🥰
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!.....

8:54 That “White Perfection” depends on the material used. Moreland 15mm Ply Glossy White cleans up better than ANY painted surface that I’ve had the opportunity to experience.
You’re certainly right about some surfaces being easy clean & stay white, but a white duvet set on a festival weekend is super high risk 🤭😉🫶
I was at Quirky 😊🚐🐾 like u first time and so wasn’t sure. It was the furthest I’d been with the van and the dog but I agree it was fabulous 👍🏻😄 so many friendly faces and all there to have fun and enjoy all things van 🚐 and yes there were so many different ones and it was amazing to see what can be done. I did spot ur van whilst we were having a wander 🐾 but didn’t see you to say hello 👋 and more importantly have a hug 🤗 take care xx and yes please to more info re the new work shop and potential for retreat 🧘♀️
Thanks Sharon, hopefully we’ll meet you soon…Plenty more festivals this Summer! 🫶🥰
@@OurVanTales I’ve booked to go to vanlife eats big picnic and am hoping to persuade my friend to come with her van too ☺️🚐👍🏼 take care x
@@sharonmayer7572 Fantastic...That's a great one & super chilled. See you there! 🥰
11K subs whoop whooooop !!!
Yay, we love to spread the LOVE ❤️
Hi guys. Just to say having watched and followed all your travels it was a pleasure to have me you in person. Although not Lynsey (hope I spelt it right) so missed the hug 😥 I managed to arrive at 1345 on Thursday and was first. No queue 😉 manage to spot my van in your video, so able to prove I was there 😃 😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧👍
Hey Roger…Great to meet the man behind the memes 🫶
Loved you video as always,
Is there a site to find all the festivals and meet ups dates for 2023 🙏
There are a few sites that list the festivals but if you Google Vanlife festivals in the UK you’ll get a good mix of options. Some are already sell outs for ‘23 🫶
4:57 - clearly Andy has had a nap and some snacks 😊
🤣🤭
Had to miss this years CQ due to grandsons birthday. Poor lad was I’ll and birthday cancelled 😢glad you enjoyed 🎉
Oh no, what a shame, hope he’s all good now 🫶
Beautiful voice 👍👍
🫶 Thank you! 🙏🏻🥰
14:30 i really like I wish I built mine like that. Then again mine is a budget build.
How lovely was that Sprinter? Beautiful & gotta love that re-spray! 🫶👊🏼
Hi Andy talked to you at stratford mario and sue we said about this festival was so many charges was it worth the money that they charge.I don't like the toilet idea flush and go for me.see you both some time cheers for sticker.
Hey Mario, well we ended up having such a great time, it was all worth it in the end (& we’ve certainly seen worse loos at festivals) 🤭🫶
@@OurVanTales just have to go and find out for my self next time. Cheers for the reply
Did I see Joanie from Camper Vibe doing a spot of yoga?
Lindsey and her guitar ❤
🫶
Hi, do you happen to know the song which she 's playing at 3.20
@@stu4116 It is one of Lindsey originals
Such a good vlog ❤, what were the tarrat cards Lindsey used if you don't mind me asking??
The angel guide by Kyle gray 🥰❤️
🫶
@@Lyndsey1981 thank you my lovely, might have to order some of them 😇
Hahhaha was going to start counting how many times Andy mentioned the Q
😂🤭
Names, lol. James and Fiona. Spoke with Andy at overlanding show.. see at the weekend.
How do James mate, see you soon fella! 👊🏼
🙏❤️🙏

Hi guys, Ruth is desperate for a breath work session! Is it the Yorkshire VL fezzie you're going to next weekend? Mal, Ruth and Raffy.
Hi, it'd be great to have you guys along...There's Campervan Campout this weekend in Sussex, VanLove Fest in York in June and Vanlife Eats Big Picnic in August that we'll be at for breathwork or there are plenty of other dates around Herts & Essex that you'll find on Lyndsey's website (details in the above script) See you soon! 🤞
The Big Picnic sounds ideal. Hopefully see you guys there. If not, we'll check out the website. Take care and we'll see you soon.
Great video, what is the name of that water purifier?
Thank you, it’s called a Lifesaver Jerrycan 🫶
4:41 thank goodness you have a lady friend who looks after herself. Have you not seen those who wear pijamas whilst shopping? Only in England!
🤭🫶
Can you please tell me what the name of the song is you start playing at 3.20 ❤
Hey Stu, it’s called ‘Angel In Disguise’ (it’s written by Lyndsey) 🫶🙌
Ha ha. Only a minute in. Wait til you see the price if the beer. Give £5 for a coke can size of kopperberg last year 😳
Ps. Paying for dogs is bang out of order
😂 What can you do eh? It is a great festival and they do sell it out…Just had to roll with it £££££🤭
@@OurVanTales ye I had a ball when I went.
Just don’t like the charging for dogs thing. But Schnide.
They replaced the solar bus.
🙌
Far too expensive for us 2 adults, 9 year old daughter and a dog £220.
It’s ridiculous the prices nowadays.
It’s a shame for sure as it’s such a great festival 🫶
6:11 you can see why there is a Q
There was certainly a lot of people there! 🥰
I canceled our booking when I realised it would be £45 for our three little dogs
I’m sorry but how the hell do they justify that !!!
Can’t justify that can ya? It’s way too high…It’s a real shame as otherwise, it’s a great festival and so dog friendly 😞
@@OurVanTales yea it’s a shame you seemed to really like it after the shock lol it’s the same with the bigger music festivals they rinse the camper van and motorhomers as they think we have a few quid.
We did Vanlovefest last year and going again this ! very different all on an RAF runway
We’re really looking forward to VanLove…See you there! 👊🏼
@@OurVanTales oh cool ! I’m doing the silent disco battle again this year last year it was me vs Neil from urban van life this year it’s me vs the wife what can possibly go wrong ?
Look forward to meeting you both and of course blue Blue.
15 pounds for a dog
Your country going mad
It’s bonkers I know! This is the only festival we’ve been to that charges for dogs…Trouble is, it sells out so they’ve got ya by the balls if you want to go 😞
Glad I didn't go to Camp Querky. Nothing changed still stuck in a queue for half day and way way to expencive. Just greedy. £15 for a dog??? WTF???. . its just a big Rip off
Totally get what you’re saying and why…It’s a tough one for sure because its such a good festival otherwise 🫶
