campsite safety

[nikki s]

My 16 yr old daughter and her friend want to go to Reading this year and I wanted to know if the camping is safe for two 16yr olds on their own? Please be honest as I don't want to buy her tickets and then regret it. Thanks

The place is full of 16 year olds having the time of their lives.  Reading's a rite of passage for kids after their GCSEs.  Expect them to be drinking or experimenting with drugs.  They will be fine

Hope this helps

Or they could just go and drink coke and sit in the sun listening to music........ Either way they will be fine.. Our daughter went to V with her friend and had a ball and although she drank she's not into drugs... My son on the other hand lol... 

Please bare in mind my kids are now 25 and 29 and have been going to festivals since well 16..my son runs his own festival called On  The Bus  Party... Look it up.. What Im trying to say is if you trust your daughter she'll show you your right too and who knows you might go to a festival with her next year or even this year not as mum and daughter but best friends.... 

All best. G

As long as they themselves are savvy enough they will be fine. I've been going to Reading since I was 17 and never had any problems.
