shuttlep Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Good afternoon festival folk. after staying in Camp Skylark at Boom Town and being a total convert to flushing toilets , hot showers and a lovely cafe. has anyone any reviews about Glastonbury posh camping, yurts and the like. trying to find out what is best value and most fun and not bankrupt myself. Hopefully for around 6 pf us. we have a lovely bell tent at Boomtown . The company that ran camp skylark said they do Glastonbury ever year, I am thinking they use a different name. or is the Tipi village any good?

Hugh Jass Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've done Worthy View last couple of years and enjoyed it (awaits being called a c**t). It was a necessity as Mrs Jass was pregnant in both 16 and 17, but I can't pretend that the hot showers, quiet nights and 5 minute walk to and from the car (especially as was carrying everything) wasn't bliss.

Zoo Music Girl Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Worthy View isn't really posh camping, though, is it? Not like what shuttlep seems to be talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like what shuttlep seems to be talking about. it was the showers and nice toilets which really sold me at Boomtown. Worthy view doesn't look too bad, The tipi Village looks nice. If I did it i would really miss my camp fire though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Had some friends stay at Land & Sky last year...quite pricey for a tipi but if it sells it they got GF Crew wristbands as the entrance is via one of the Shangri-la backstage areas. They had no idea what they were until I told them and they then spent rest of the festival touring all the Crew bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Where is Russy these days? He seems to have spent the fallow year in hibernation, occasionally stirring from his slumber to comment on the Nick Cave thread or bemoan the acts mooted on the headliner thread.

Zoo Music Girl Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 How much is that Land & Sky thing then? Their website says not taking reservations for Glastonbury 2019, but I presume they have to wait for the ticket release as it includes a ticket? That's one of the advantages of these luxury options generally, isn't it? Each to their own, but I think Glastonbury is an expensive enough weekend without paying for the camping options too so it's never really tempted me (apart from the possibility of getting a no-fuss ticket).

Quark Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I was cleaning out my folders the other day and came across the Russy's C*nt Bingo Card from a couple of years ago Can't remember who came up with it, think it might have been Scruff? He's another one who's gone AWOL actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that i was sat by a communal fire in /next to the Tipi Village one evening last year, and of course Strummerville is just a bit further up the hill.

I remember a bunch of Kerala campers with branded brollies getting pelted with mud on the Pyramid field after the flood of 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
