Arriving 8pm Thursday. 2 tents. Where to camp?

[e_p]

Due to work.  1 persons and 2 people. Probably 2 man and 4 man tents.  Where could you reasonably expect to be able to camp - not next to the loos or a really busy path.  Everyone in their 30s. Coming from London. 
advice welcome!

If you really must pre-select a destination, then Lime Kiln is your safest bet. The further West within the field the better.

Better yet would be to consult the campsite crew just inside the gate, they'll have a map showing current status and should be able to best advise.

Head to the south west ... Back House is a hidden oasis that only opens on Thursday. Always has space and not too far from the Park and Stone Circle.

Yep, still plenty of space back there mid fest, although that’s really the only area on site that really has any by then:

If you come in gate A you should find space in Darble easily enough with a bit of a mooch about. Most people walk straight through as it always looks full from the track, but get past the first half dozen tents and it opens up a bit. Sounds like your tents aren't very big so you should be ok. The SE corner of that field has quite good access as you can pretty easily cut in there by walking along the hedgerow through the Pylon ground.

Has the added advantage of being nice and close to the gate so you can quickly get set up before the light starts to fade.

Best bet is to ask the people stewarding the campsites as you arrive, they're usually in a caravan and have a big map they fill in as the days go on showing where is and isn't busy.

We camped in Rigs Field the past 2 and been loads of room throughout the festival or as above poster said Darble next to gate A should still have room once you get past through the first couple of rows of tents. Camped here the year before Rigs

Really hard to answer as the gate entrance will make a big difference. Wouldn’t want to be trekking over the site with luggage on a Thursday to a spot that might not even be free. 2 days into the festival so I’d just find a spot that looks ok and get setup

When the new map comes out ' look at that general area ' as you may discover that Dairy Ground { Crew Camping } is not like 2019.

a good proportion of it was used by the WBC for 10 or so years and various Security Companies but I know for 2022 the WBC Crew Camp will not be in that area so it may be occupied by other crews or it may go to general camping.

In the past {well in the past 34 years} previous Crew Camps that had been used as WBC Crew Camps all over the site are mainly now general camping {or VIP Camping in one area} so its very possible that may happen again. A shot from a previous year - the shape has not changed in 10 years .

There will be plenty space to camp, you just won’t get the best fields
