There's nothing special about Pennards really - you can spot the rookies when they neglect to mention the other fields virtually in the same location next to it.

Oh and it flooded in 2005.

Doubt you'll get a spot in Pennards at that time but most other fields you'll probably be ok as long as you don't mind fitting in where you can.

As someone else said there aren't many camping areas near green fields aside from pennards so if you definitely need to be close to there then consider the night bus. Don't really see why though (especially if this is your first glasto - seems a strange priority for someone that doesn't know the site) as you'll have to do a lot of walking around no matter where you camp. If I were you I'd get off the coach, walk towards Bushy, camp somewhere around there where space is plentiful and go wonder the site and have fun for the rest of the day rather than risk slogging through the whole site to look for somewhere closer to Greenfields, not find anywhere and come back the way you came

Okay so i'm planning to get there at around 6pm on the wednesday we want to specifically camp at Oxylers/Dance Field

Is this impossible?

[redmosquito]

I'd say if you arrive after 14:53 your pretty much fucked

[thewayiam]

Well I won't be there till Thursday AM, so I'm camping outside!!

[thewayiam]

I remember over hearing one guy in The Park in 2010 describe Pennards as "The Ibiza of Glastonbury".................to which I thought "Fuck off twat", I like the camp sites just past John Peel myself, Ive got no idea what their names are though.

there's not too much camping near the stone circle or the greenfields bar Pennards, and that fills up quickly. my personal opinion is don't put too much importance on where you are camping, if you get a spot for all your group you'll be fine. long walks are unavoidable no matter where you camp, and tbh, a long walk round the site isn't the worst way to spend time.

I arrived with one other at 7pm on the Friday in 2011 and we managed to squeeze in two tents.

We're arriving at 6pm on the Wednesday this year so it should be comparative luxury. We'll end up wherever we end up.

[titusbungle]

We get there Wednesday afternoon, always intend on camping in Dairy but can't be bothered dragging our stuff and end up in Paines instead cos we see loads of space. The walk doesn't bother us the next few days, plus it's quieter so get a decent 3 hours a night lol

[Matt42]

Bare in mind i'm only going with someone else! So we are only bringing one tent.

[charl0tte90]

I'm getting to Glastonbury at the same time Wednesday as you, from what I've heard queues are generally better at the time. I'd prefer that than getting no sleep because of getting up at 2am, not being able to sleep on the coach, queueing for hours to get in just to get a camping spot. You're going to get a camping space no matter what, just not in your perfect place.

@mail1234 yes I like to sit at my tent all night and day that's exactly why I spent £205 on a ticket

[ThisIsWhereIStand]

This.

I'm debating whether its actually worth queueing this year to get where we normally camp (Dairy Ground). The drive throughout the night and the subsequent stress getting in means I'm pretty shattered come the Wednesday afternoon. May sacrifice a prime spot and just get there later in the afternoon.

This man hit in on the head.

I've been twice and both times camped at Pennards which is great for the stone circle but an awful long haul from West Gate entrance and a thought provoking distance to the Pyramid Stage.

Pennards fills very quickly but Park is next door if you really want to stay that way over.
