Weston Park Campsite Guide

[hariskhan7]

Is it just a case of get there and choose your campsite I mean i know Hylands is specific where you buy the ticket for the campsite but aren't these all the same

[juliebee_moosic]

Yeah turn up, pick your site and pitch your tent!

Some campsites are more lively than others. Generally the nearear you are to the Arena, the more lively the campsite.

Right then people - a bit of searching hasnt thrown anything up just yet, but i'm just wondering what having a VIP ticket entails? Is there a separate VIP campsite that you have to go in or can you camp in the main campsites?

We've managed to get hold of a couple for free which is obviously great, but What I'm trying to work out is am I going to end up in a separate campsite with people there on a jolly, away from the real festival? I can't see VIP on the map so I'm guessing its just hospitality area access, again which I have no intention of using much!

Hopefully I'll get the answer I'm looking for here and see you all in Blue on Friday!!!

When I used to have VIP tickets for Weston they were indeed for hospitality access only.

The hospitality is very handy to have though... clean loos, chairs and tables to sit on and have a beer, no queues to get a drink at all ... and a few celebs around if that floats your boat.

If it's still in the same place, it's only a couple of minutes from the main stage as well.

^{Given the weather i was thinking of bringing a large fishing umbrella for in the campsite. Will this be allowed in?}

A boat might be more useful

you won't get in with big fishing brolly as they will take it off you even for campsite unless you have it well hidden but u defo won't get it in the arena

[lottiesmybaby]

I wasnt thinking of the arena just the campsite but if its going to be a a hassle i will just leave it and put on my poncho instead!! I have my excited pants on now...not long to go!!!!

[Arctic girl]

Do you get to chose your campsite or is it allocated on your ticket? (For weston)

[steph78]

You get to choose your camp at Weston hun

We stayed in red last year and it was such a laugh on the first morning. By the first night; it was horribly cramped, horribly dirty, and sleep was virtually impossible. It WAS fun though. I think we'll go blue this year, or maybe gold as it sounds more communal. As long as there are no biting spiders, I think I'll be okay with it!

[emzy2626]

Just found out that the campervan site is located in the purple area at Weston. Does anyone know what the site is like? How far to the arena is my main concern?

[Fingersjel]

Thanks for all the tips.... After 2 horrendous years in red camp I have decided that'd GOLD is the way forward!

I need you help with directions.... Ill be staying in Shifnal the night before and could use tips/directions to one of the south car parks.

Any info would be greatly received x

[HOLYFIRE]

Can the people who attend V festival last year give us an update on the campsites as this thread was started back in 2008 and a lot could of changed...

[CarmenJade]

Lots of people have mentioned red and blue camp. can anyone give me any info on orange camp and which car park is best to park in depending on which site you camp

Thaaaaanks (:

[Indie53]

orange camp is the ebst and liveliest imo. was much more fun than red despite what seems to be the popular opinion on here. it's the closest to the arena.

[HOLYFIRE]

Could someone recommend a campsite if you were going with just yourself and your girlfriend/boyfriend?

I like my sleep and I do plan on getting some sleep, I just don't like the idea of camping where it's a constant party from dusk till dawn.

Any recommendations? Gold, Grey, Blue, Yellow...

Thanks for the reply. So whats the general atmosphere like in Green? Are there any to avoid if your wanting sleep and some space between tents?

yep we camped in gold for 3 yrs then green, green is closer to the arena but perfect room around tent. close to showers in orange n 10 mins walk to arena. Red, Orange n Blue no no n gold is gettin packed now n so far from everythin x

After having camped in Red 6 times, I camped in Green last year, and felt much safer.

It was much more quieter and easier to pitch tent.

Thanks for the reply. Did you venture through any of the other campsites last year? Which ones would you definitely avoid?
