Camping in a tent in campervan fields.

[ChrisTGA]

My friends are staying in their camper this year and I'm the only one staying in a tent, they seem to think I can pitch next to/behind their camper but I'm seeking further assurance. I've looked into it and can't find a definitive answer. Anybody done this before

Yep, done it twice. As long as you pitch next to them by their side, and it's not a marquee, all will be fine. There needs to be gap around each van, so pitch by the side, not behind.

Thank you, great swift reply

[carlosj]

Subjective, this one, you'll wake early in the heat and light compared to your mates (as my cuz did when I booted him out of my van for snoring), so you'll just have to wake em up to cook breakfast for you, grab a shower and party on, heh heh.

From the GFL website (campervan FAQs). In practice, tents are usually next to the vans, rather than behind, as it blocks the vehicle/fire lanes:

Can I pitch a tent beside my caravan/campervan?

The Fire Officer will not allow ticket-holders to camp beside campervans or cars due to the risk of contiguous fire, but it is permitted to camp behind them.
