Red or yellow?

So I used to stay in Blue Campsite (oh how you are missed) but missed the last two years. This time had to stay in Red - how far?

Anyway, IYHO which is best, driving on the way out yellow seemed close to both the site and the carpark.

Yellow don't allow BBQ's and red do. On the website it said that BBQ's are allowed in the campsites so we stocked up on loads of food and that, then we were told we weren't allowed to bring in our BBQ's!! The bloke said it's only red that they are allowed in!!

Other than this, as far as I am aware (never stayed in Red) they are hardly any different.

Yellow is closer to the Arena though!

Had friends who stayed in yellow (we were in red) and they had more room, closer to arena and not as much as a hike from the car park. Also heard the food was cheaper!

Yes the BBQ thing stinks. But i think i'd opt for yellow for next year.

yellow for me, as having camped there this year and red last year would def not camp in red again

our neighbours have been great both times, but tbh i found i was camped near so many cocks last year just felt so much more mellow in yellow (lol). on the plus side for red better stalls (altho better food in Y :D )

and yeah is also so much easier & quicker to get to the arena and from the car in yellow

Well I have now camped in Yellow and Red (this year) and must say that Yellow is a bit more chilled and you get more room. Having said that! We got to Red at 12.20 and it was rammed, we struggled to find anywhere to pitch our tent (there is no way all those tents had been put up in 20 minutes). We ended up in the 'Quiet Zone', as did everyone I knew that was going end up! It wasn't really quiet at all but you did have a bit more room and although you had little parties going on with some music playing we didn't have the fog horns going off all night and all night really loud parties, so did manage to get some sleep. I would def camp in the Quiet area again if I were in Red.

Yellow don't have showers so it is a cold tap wash - but that's what a festival is all about! I believe red has showers but always been yellow with my mates and we love it - and go for yellow over red every time!

to be honesty, ive been 4 times now and stayed in both, they are what you make of em, just 2 fields with tents in......... loads of booze.........loads of music and partying, its impossible for them to be diff or to have 2 diff types of people in each one like some people make out !

    • The first half of that game was cracking but then I fell asleep at half time. Maybe that's just the momentum of things.

    • A win is a win but it was a very poor game with only 4 shots on target in the whole game. Scotland obviously handed a massive bonus with Brazil and Morocco drawing but I don't think either of them will be too worried. 
    • Word of advice, your work-life energy balance should be 60% energy for work and 40% energy for life. If you're drained after a day's work, that is something you should strongly look into. Especially if it is solely due to work.
