Where will everone camp?

[Peroni]

Normally aim for lime kiln or hitchen hill, but both were pretty much full by mid morning weds.... hoping it's not so busy this year.

We have always set up our tents around the front of the other stage in the oxylers area. Its pretty centrally located I always think. Where does everyone else like to camp?

[ads1980]

Probably not far from you! A lot of people would probably look at our spot and think it would be a flood risk but we survived 2007 so I reckon we'll stick with it.

Not that it's going to rain of course

[Spindles]

Dairy or Park if I'm with the kids, Undleground if there is space with friends who sometimes manage to squeeze me in.

Anywhere, however, is my final answer. I will camp exactly where I decide on the day. Some years this means missioning across the site at gates open to get exactly the spot I have set my mind on, others it means dropping anchor at the point I just can't carry shit any longer. Mostly it works out ok either way.

How has this thread gone so far with this being the first mention of Pennards. That said I've never understood why Pennards is so popular on these boards.

As has been mentioned above getting space at the "good" spots has become such a trauma I am finished with it, in 2011 I slept in the car and got my space on Big Ground, but only because they opened PGC early, I was on site at 08.10 and even then it was almost full, (for big groups) by 11.00.

Next year I will be in a tipi, four of us confirmed with tickets and a fifth trying in the resale, so much less hassle. I will train down on Wednesday afternoon waltz in after all the queues have gone, dump rucksack in the tipi and straight to the cider bus, no tent to put up no tent to take down and pack up and guaranteed excellent spot next to the park.

Gonna try for the top of Spring Ground this year if space allows. Camped around most of the site in the past and this is definitely my favourite spot.

No space there last year so ended up squeezed into a small spot in Kidney Mead which was no fun as we didn't have space for a camp fire and I love fire.

I've done the Penard's twice and last year was in a Tipi and it's definitely the way forward if you don't mind paying the extra lump. This year there is a crew of 20 of us that we are going to balance out through a few Tipi's.

In 2010 we camped in the Bushy Ground behind the dance village because we didn't get there until Thursday afternoon, I was a bit gutted at first that we couldn't get closer to the action but it turned out to be a fantastic spot in the end because it had a bit less human traffic around so I felt like the tent was a bit safer there & it was quiet at night (apart from the obligatory "Alan"!)

I couldn't get a ticket for 2011 but my friends camped in the same spot and had no problems again so that's where I'll be heading for again next year

Excited much!!!

Never been before but I'm tossing up between somewhere near Michael's Mead/Hawkwell for a nice view of the pyramid or near the top of Park Home Ground to be close to the Park/Other Stage.

I'll happily accept any other suggestions. Would be like somewhere not too loud, but not too quiet either, fits a group of 7 of us arriving at around Midday Wednesday, is relatively close to everything and is safe.

[Mr. Cowbell]

I've camped in Kidney Mead, Big Ground & Woodsies in previous years, wouldn't mind trying to go for Park Home next year. Anyone stayed there? What's the atmosphere like of a night and what's it like for flooding?

[JoeyT]

Top Webbs Ash near the big tree at the bottom of it. Always like to think we've been in the same spot give a few metres!

[lucyginger]

Pennards for me! Has been for the last 4 years (all of my Glastos). If I camp anywhere else, I'd never find my tent again. I have no sense of direction!

[cokebabies92]

Oxlyers again for us, we were camped directly behind the lock up in 2011 hoping for that again but this time we have a group of 20+ people so I doubt it,(compared to last time when it was just me and my bro) any ideas where would be more suitable for this size of group but still near to night life?

[Blannyboy]

Well as I didn't get a ticket it looks like the back garden with the television facing the patio doors just to get a bit of atmosphere.

I really have no idea about the life of any campsite, what is is near, how close it is to gates, how flood prone it is or anything. First Glastonbury.

This is a pretty good summary of all things Glastonbury
