Aroseey Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi! Over the weekend I thought I'd try out my tent that my mum gave me for Glastonbury, she told me it was a 6 man which would have been fine for the five of us that are going! However when unpacking the tent it turns out its an eight man! I don't have any time to pick up anything smaller, will this size tent be ok? We're not fussed about being in the busy campsites and are happy to go somewhere a little further out. Where would you recommend camping with this size tent? We hope to arrive at around 5/6am Wednesday. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasto19 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) An eight man tent will be a good size for five of you. Remember you'll need space for your bags and whatever else you bring. I always camp in Lime Kiln as it's a bit quieter and there's more space up there. Edited June 24, 2019 by Glasto19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guypjfreak Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 When we started going to glasto it was ridge tents and the dome tents now the tents are massive but Yea if you have 5 of you you'll need the space just be conciderent and help your fellow campers.. Always make friends that way you are making your camp a safer place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're there that early you've still got a half decent chance of squeezing it in the more popular spots but depends on time you actually get through the gate (you'll be joining a big queue at that time). If you think there are lots ahead of you then Paines ground might be a safer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
