ampervan vs Worthy View

aphexbin · October 18, 2016

Hey Ive noticed theres already a few threads on Campervans and Worthy View so would appreciate some opinion/advice from the efestivals lot in choosing between the two.

Next year me and a mate are planning to either hire a van or camp in Worthy View- we are slightly older glasto veterans and haven't done either before (always done general camping).

One of the main reasons we are wanting to either do worthy view or hire a van is next year we cant leave to get there until Thursday (and I know what the main camping area is like after Wednesday), and to be frank it be nice to camp in something a little less hectic.

I understand the obvious differences between camping in pre-erected tents or a van and I have noticed from reading previous threads that both fields for worthy view and campervan east/west are a decent distance from the main site. Basically Im just wondering given wed be going down on the Thursday- would it be better to get a place at worthy view, as by the time we got there in a van wed be absolutely miles away from anything? Or would it not be so bad coming in a van on Thursday/ the experience in a van would be so much better than worthy view that we should go in a van anyway?

Obviously the cost of getting a campervan would be more than worthy view but willing to spend the money if it is just that much better.

Um, well anyway- what should we do?

WV is only 10 mins walk from Pennard's Gate even if you're right at the back of the field (which we've been 3 years running). You enter the site next to Strummerville & the Stone Circle. So it's very close to the Pennards campsite. Going back up to WV takes a bit longer. There is a very steep but short hill, with steps cut in and handrails, which is totally manageable, unless you're really unfit or have mobility issues.

Not stayed in the CV fields, but they seem to be further from the main site. However, could be wrong on that one.
