Best campsite?

[Drew3232]

Arriving early on Wednesday but only one person with a V. small tent, so should be able to slot in anywhere - where's the best campsite? By consensus of seasoned attendees?

Totally depends on what kind of experience you're looking for!

Close to everything - where do most people head for first as soon as they get through the gate when it opens?

All over the place probably depending on which entrance they come in.

 

You can not tlbe Close to everything has the site is huge so might be better narrowing down the areas or stages you woukd prefer to be near to before asking that question

 

There is no single answer to this question

 

A lot of people do bolt for Pennard Hill but that is definitely not the best campsite -

K how about a mix of quiet(ish) and reasonable close to the main stages?

Kidney mead and michaels mead then.  Wont be dead quiet, but more quiet than the south side (pennard and park)

Main stages? Woodsies is a main stage for some and so is the temple for others and they are at completely opposite ends of the site

[danmarks]

That seems deliberately obtuse to count the temple as a possible main stage. Most people would think pyramid/other/ possibly park/acoustic. 

Doesnt help I know.

My sons have been going since their 20s. I sent them to Oxlyers and they were bowled over at being able to see a band on the Other stage from their tents! Blew them away. Also good enough for SE corner and very handy for silver hayes and Arcadia . They didn't go anywhere different the next years. It's a tight fit though and harder this year as camping in that area has been reduced. Think they may be heading somewhere new this time though as some are arriving Thursday and oxylers will be full by Wednesday

Yeh fair enough but maybe the sec as a whole, he never specified if he was a night owl or not , rather vague post

There is no best campsite. No matter where you camp it’s always far from something because the site is huge.
 

Most of the campsites that are close to the main stages fill up quickly and are usually not that quiet but that can vary depending on who your neighbours are. 
 

You’re arriving pretty early and only need a small space so you should be able to fit in anywhere really. Look at the lineup, figure out which stages you will spend the most time at and then look at the map and pick a camp site that’s near those stages.

Tort’s excellent FAQ always worth a read (and covers this topic extensively!)..

The one you are camped in ... you're at Glastonbury.
