Yellow Camp

[Electricityscape]

Basically a group of people we know are camping in Yellow this year and some of our group are wondering wether to camp with them or not.

... the issue being i've heard some things about Yellow camp, chavs, pricks, shit hole etc etc etc. Is it really as bad as that?

So is it just best to stay clear of it?

You know, whenever I was trying to decide way back when in March to get tickets to Leeds I asked on here about the different campsites and which one was the best, etc - and funnily enough I've noticed that in all the time I've been coming here, the words 'Yellow Bubble Camping' have never been mentioned in any of these 'advice threads'.

Perhaps there's a very good and simple reason for this.

Chavs, pricks, shit hole etc etc etc. Is it really as bad as that?

Yep

Yep

Yep

overcrowded too.

I've only pitched in Orange and Yellow before, but I by far found Yellow the friendlier of the two. Plan to return this year.

Panic over guys, me and another friend managed to persuade them to go into blue again.

Blue is easily the best. Close to everything but not so close that it's full of pricks.

From my experiences it doesn't seem that the closer to the arena you get the more pricks there are, more so that there are just a lot of pricks scattered across the festival. Perhaps not applicabale to green and brown; but pretty much all the other campsites.

As a seasoned veteran, do you feel reluctant to say things like this in case people like chavs and various other assorted w*nker-types stumble across your posts and think 'hm, let's go there'?

It's a bit like Dawn of the Dead, isn't it? I mean, you stumble across a great place to camp but, reap the rewards of being in a great spot, then bikers show up, open up the doors for the zombies and your utopia is gone.

It's good knowing the majority of them are all penned in.
