There is a thread for Shambala, look under Shhhhhhhhhh

Anyway in answer to your questions, There's plenty of camping space with water points easily accessible. I'd recommending arriving the second the gates open not cos it's a mad rush to bag a good spot but cos it's the best festival I've been to and you wouldn't want to miss a second of it. The toilets are very good, they have a few composters and the rest are the usual festival fair but they're cleaned regularily and most people respect them if you know what I mean. Bar prices are fair, they make their money on the bar sales but allow you to bring in your own alcohol (just no glass) but without sounding like a hippy I'd recommend you do use the bar cos it's a lovely festival and it helps them keep going. I've never seen any searching going on but they don't want glass on the site and might randomly look for that, anything very small that you wouldn't want found would most likely be safe. Police? what Police? They are a very family friendly festival so if you're worried about the police cos you are going to be up to no good, give this one a miss as there'll be plenty of stewards about and I know they will call the police to the site if needed. They called the police out last year cos some ar*e was being a tit. Food is only fair but prices are okay, there hasn't been a big choice in the past.

Shhh is a lovely friendly festival with a real happy chilled vibe. If you go with love and peace in your heart you'll love it. By the way make sure you take a fancydress outfit for the Saturday night or you'll regret it. Maybe see you there
