What's the camping situation like, is it a free for all like most festivals (i've been to)?

How quiet is the "quiet" camping, sounds like it's generally quite a chilled festival so maybe everywhere is already quietish?!

Any issues with certain spots getting boggy if it tips down?

Oh, and are gazebo's allowed to stick between two tents for a bit of living space?

Ta 🙂

Very easy to find a space, we always get a similar space every year, 30 yards up from the hill of death. ( a tiny 20ft  incline tbf😂)

We always have a gazebo between two tents, pretty sure noone has ever been offended by it. There's a couple of bigger groups with big gazebos every year too.

And yeah, it's pretty quiet everywhere really. Never tried quiet camping.

true.  compared to glasto, EOTR is as quiet as a library

Camping really only "not quiet" if you choose to pitch up in the top left corner (as you enter the campsite from entry gate, up that so called him off "death" /slight puff) which puts you within ear-shot of The Tipi - this year renamed The Folly - as it has live music until after 2am

First year not camping because of ill health.  Staying elsewhere is it easy to get in and out from the site on a daily basis

I would say yes. In our early years we used to drive out to top up with supplies at the supermarkets. No queues on the way back in and fairly easy to find a parking space. Since we've been able to borrow a campervan (the last 5 years), we've stayed put though, so maybe there's someone with a more recent view. The site population hasn't changed in that time though.

We’ve stayed in an air bnb the last two years, easy to get out and easy enough to get back in. You’ll end parking a long way away. One thing we learned is to have summat noticeable poking up off the car making it easier to find.

our now adult nippers still camp. Last year we were taking one back to Bristol and made the poor bugger meet us at 7 am. Security wouldn’t let us in. And they were pretty unpleasant and aggressive about it too.

Is there an app for this folks? Or do we rely on Clashfinder?

If not, clashfinder can be downloaded as an app for offline use

I'm scrambling to make it in in time for Wilco Thursday evening. What's the craic with the lockers? Am I going to need Sterling coinage to throw my bags in there?

this person made a great app for Glastonbury, but the festival/Vodafone out some kind of ban on it because they had Vodafone’s abysmal app. Anyway, looks like it’s good for other festivals and had the ability to download your Clashfinder.

edit: actually I don’t think it’s the same app, but still looks ok
