What time should we arrive at Leeds on Thursday to make sure we get a good camping spot?

Hi, me and my friends are going to Leeds this year and we are wondering what time we need to get there on Thursday to make sure we have a good safe non muddy spot for our tent. We are wondering how busy is it on Thursday as we are planning on arriving before 12 in the afternoon.

As early as possible. By around 2-3pm the place is totally rammed.

Can anyone who's been Leeds before help me & my mate are going this year but due to not being able to get time off work we will be arriving like 2PM the Friday. Not bothered about how good the camping spot is as I don't mind a bit of a walk every morning. But is it likely there will be no where left to camp?

You'll get a space in green or brown. I presume they'll have them this year.

Green and brown had decent room last year. Have look online for last years map. Was in the campervan field and walked past every day. if the others are rammed head there, its 5 minutes further if that. Which I know may seem like the end of the earth after trekking from car park. But you'll have a decent pretty much guaranteed space there at least.

Lots of room in brown last year, even after the late arrivers on the Friday.  Although it's the furthest area from the arena, it's not that far from the entrance (if coming by car).

If you're looking to head to Blue/Red camp you'd be very lucky to get a spot! I have been camping on blue camp opposite the ecolog trailer for years and late wednesday evening its pretty much completely full. We usually get there at 10am and wait at the entrance.. you usually get escorted to the main gates at around 11:30 and let in quite soon after (definitely not 2pm as it states!)

Good luck and have a great time! If you see a bald guy around blue, come say hi
