Posh Camping

[muffin]

I saw a sign pointing to 'Posh Camping' between the John Peel Stage and Pyramid. Does anyone know where this was and how to buy a space? I may wanna try some luxury next time.

I know about the tipis and off site stuff as it's on the official site. But this intrigued me.

Maybe it was a mirage.....hot weather, dust and all that

TBH, if it actually said something kinda like "Posh Camping" or similar then I would rather suspect that it was either a bit of a wind-up or perhaps more likely, way more of a sarcastic dig at Stalag Hospitality than anything even remotely official Whilst the Hospitality Area was in that sort of area (in Long Ground where the Cinema Field used to be plus the lower part of Wicket Ground) I would imagine that any signage there may have been would have been slightly more 'appropriately' worded and all that ! The Hospitality Area is apparently just that - you need to have Hospitality Tix rather than General Admission Tix to be able to use it and (no doubt) need to pay even more do$h for anything other than just a patch of grass for your own tent as well. It's where the Myhab and other similar allegedly 'luxury' facilities for rent/hire were I think and was previously located in the Backstage Area but it's not an option available to standard punters and all that.

We were camping in wickets and walked past what we thought was a hospitality camping area every day, surrounded by high wooden fence(on the old cinema field). On the monday it was open so we walked through and it was lots of brightly painted wooden huts (like childrens wooden play houses) with a window and what looked like wooden ledges for a bed, felt like we had walked into a scene from the gingerbread men!! It looked like you could lock the doors. There were also showers & toilets in mobile trailers & a bar. We used the FLUSHING toilets!
