Few Questions

[Corkyefes]

Hi Guys,

First time to V this year. Gone through the forums and cannot really find all my answers. Wondering if people can answer these :-

- Whats the best camp site to be in?

We want to be in one that has got a few people in it but the big thing is the toilets must be clean (ish).

Don't care about showers or spiders.

- When you get to V do they send you into a camp site or can you walk to where you want to be? Is it all sign posted or whatever?

- In the arena, how far are the food stalls, bars and toilets from the stage and everything else?

Hope you guys and gals can answer the questions.

Cheers

I FOUND THIS GUIDE TO CAMPS SOMEONE POSTED ON HERE

Gold

Pros

Spacious, there is room around your tent and you’re not tripping over other peoples guide ropes.

Clean(er) toilets

Close to car park

Not noisy (in an offensive way)

Normally find that the crowd that inhabit Gold are pretty laid back and easy to get on with.

The ground is good for camping but there is a hill just before you get to the entrance to Red/Green

Cons

20 min walk from arena

I only found one set of food vans (was there any in other sites?)

Red

Pros

Liveliest campsite

Closest campsite to the arena

Cons

Most people walk through red from other campsites to the arena so its always a tip

Toilets are digusting

Can be too lively. Difficult to get any sleep.

Really cramped

Blue

Pros

Cleanish toilets

Livley but you can still get a few hours kip!

Only 5 min walk from arena

Not too far from carparks

Showers

Lots of food vans. Last year there was souther fried chicken,fish n chips,pizza,chinese etc.

Mobile charging points

High up. If it rains, doubtful you will be waterlogged.

Cons

Some people still find it a bit too lively

Massive queue for the loos in the morning

Gets very busy, not very spacious.

Shower queues ghastly, need to get there early (6am) to avoid queues

Orange

Pros

Very close to arena

Not too cramped

Has showers

Can get some kip if you want it

Cons

Very small so you have to get there early

Quite far from the car parks

Its a thoroughfare to Grey campsite

Toilets are manky (like most places)

Grey

Pros

Quiet (If you need your sleep)

Lots Of Space

Cons

Quiet (If you like to party)

The ground isn’t good for camping. Can be hard.

Miles away from everything (carpark and stage)

Yellow

Pros

5-10 min walk from arena

Fairly small site….not too far to walk to water points etc

Toilets usually ok

Good atmosphere without it being as lively as red or as quiet as gold

Close to car parks

Cons

Cos its small it fills up quickly

Not much space between tents

If you camp near the fence or path for arena may end up near a generator

Part of it on a hill…good if you’re at the top if its raining, not so good if you’re on the slope or at the bottom

Green

Pros

Doesn’t get too muddy when it rains.

Pretty chilled out, not too loud, not too quiet.

Decent toilets - cleaned regularly (the tankers find it one of the easier sites to enter)

Good selection of food vans at the top of the hill to the arena.

Not a thoroughfare from other sites to the arena.

Still plenty of space for those who arrive on Saturday but does fill up.

Cons

The walk back up the hill after the end of the night. Can seem a long way after a day of bouncing and alcohol.

20 mins from the arena (dependent which end your at).

The walk from South car park can be a bit trecherous in the rain.

Quite a distance from all car parks.

As for the camp - you choose and there is a map on the main festival website showing you where they are situtsted.

I heading to Yellow camp - failing that Orange or Gold.

Happy Camping
