Camping or hotel? Help!

[rarishy]

So this year I've decided to go leeds festival but for the whole weekend. This is only my second festival and first time staying over however the problem is I will be going with my mother who sometimes get trouble with her joints and I am quite young myself so we are not sure about camping. It is also my mothers first experience of a festival. 
Would you recommend camping and if so what camp-sites would you say are the best / worst? If not where would you recommend getting a hotel and getting to and from the festival?

I would say Orange (not next to the fairground) and purple would probably suit your situation as it is more laid back up there. When you first get into the festival at the gate look for somebody in a turquoise high vis who has CAT written on it and they will carry your bag to the next zone where the next CAT will take over until you get to the zone you want, that should help your mum and if you ask them nice they will help put up the tent as they are on a 8 hour shift so they want stuff to do.

if you stay in a hotel in the city, then there is a shuttle bus that runs all day from the city and back! I did this last year (only for 1 day) and found it to be very handy!
