Martin Mitchell, from Cambridge, has hired three "deluxe" glamping tents at the three-day Latitude Festival at Henham Park, near Southwold, for six of his family for a total cost of £2,500.
"I would happily slum it, but my wife Alice wouldn't come to festivals if we didn't do it in such luxury," he said.
"It's good value - you get breakfast included, minimal queues for showers, your stuff is brought to your tent from the car park and you get use of a glampers' bar near the main stage.
"The staff seem like old friends and the service is fantastic."

Apparently it's a new mobile game sweeping the nation which lets players roam a map using their phone's GPS location data and catch Pokemon to train and battle.
Well it seems like Cambridge University is getting in on it too.

An ancient village found near Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire and dubbed "Britain's Pompeii" was just a few months old when it burnt down, it has emerged. Analysis of wood used to build the settlement suggests it was only lived in for a short time before it was destroyed. Despite this, archaeologists said the site gives an "exquisitely detailed" insight into everyday Bronze Age life. At least five circular houses raised on stilts above the East Anglian fens have been found.
