Best area to camp

[Paul62]

Im travelling from Ireland and its my frist time. Im going from bristol Wensday morning. We were wondering where is the best area to camp to see the farm?

Also I seen pictures of the floods last year. Was anyone safe?

No floods last year. That was 2007 and drainage in the worse affected area (bottom of pennards by the old railway line) has been massively improved.

Not sure what you mean by 'see the farm' though. You mean the whole site (or as much as you can see from a single spot)? Hitchin Hill is a good bet, though you're better off walking up beyond the Park for the best views. No camping there though.

Holts is very central but quite noisy, Oxlylers is well placed and boisterous but further from the late night areas and the increasingly popular Pennards has reputation as party central.

Personally though, I've found wherever you camp your experience is often down to the pot luck of what your neighbours are like. They might be party animals or miserable, unsociable gits who insist in taping off their camping area, and the people you end up next to might not have read the script for what the field is supposed to be like.

first time up you won't have a clue where you at.just get somewhere not at the bottom of a slope or close to toilets and chill. we've been 3 years now and pitched different places each time and had a different experience each time,thats part of the fun. enjoy

I would suggest the priority is to find the flattest area you can.
