Like the idea of the boat but some wheels on it would be better.

This is what I was thinking of.

But not sure the wheels will take the wieght of the tent and poles. Although it does say it takes up to 100kg

We bought this ONE off Amazon for carrying the groceries from the car to the house. Works great.

This is the type most people are now using at festivals. They are much more stable across rough ground/mud than the two wheel ones and you can get far more in.

Some, including our friends, also convert them into covered wagons to transport toddlers/beer round (depending on your priorities :-) ) so they are dual purpose.

They are available for hire at some festivals.

Hi
Try to envisage how strong and sturdy you think it will need to be, then double that...at least!

Anything that folds up or collapses is , as a general rule, likely to let go when dragged across festival 'sites ( which are more often than not little more than farmers' rough fields..).

If you have the room in your vehicle, then a proper "trade" sack truck(with large pneumatic-tyres),is as good as anything(loaded properly/securely and dragged not pushed).
'Better to make two trips with something that can easily cope, than to load something that's not up to the job, and end up having wheel bearings shatter, axles bend/break, welds tear etc etc..leaving you, and your stuff, stranded midway 'tween carpark and campsite..
(At the larger festivals the walk to the campsites is usually littered with damaged trolleys, wheels, axles etc...)

Oh, and if you do take a truck/trolley, please leave it your camp(or back in your car),don't be one of those who drags a ruddy great metal trolley around the festival, clacking into folk, taking up room in the arena(s)/bars etc, blocking walkways etc, just so they don't need to actually carry their pair of camping chairs and picnic blanket!! (rant over!

Last year at a festival, we were set up and having a beer and happened to be parked near the path to the tent area so spent an entertaining half an hour watching the campers arriving.
The ones with the types of carts linked to above seemed to be struggling less than the ones with sack carts.
Rolling suitcases didn't fare too well, but the ones who struggled most though were the ones with a supermarket trolley!
PS I agree with pepe63's rant!
