happycamper155 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Anyone know if theres any point turning up at decent time i.e 8am/9am to get best choice of spot? Or do they fire you right up the back of the Red campsite furthest away from main stage? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndie__loo Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 You can camp anywhere you want. Red tends to be the quiet campsite, yellow is much closer to the arena and normally fills up pretty quick so the earlier you get there the better the spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali1874 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 We arrived about 4:30pm last year and we still got a decent enough space in Yellow (well, it was on a slope ) really close to the arena entrance. Think we'll be aiming for the back of yellow this year, we're arriving about 12:30pm so hopefully there will still be enough space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlon dingle Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 You want to camp on a hill/slope so that if it rains, the water passes underneath you. I dont understand why they place the VIP section in the most likely to flood part of the fields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
