Best time/place to have a shower and best place to camp to be next to them?

[Duggyfresh44]

Hi, just after some shower advice. I’ve done Worthy View for the last decade or so but am in the main Festival this year. I didn’t usually bother too much back in the day but now I like my home comforts and I get a bit stressed if I’m grubby…

So just wondering where is the best place for camping near-ish to showers, which are the best ones, and what’s the best time to use them etc. 
 

TIA!

The only showers are near the Kidzfield.  It’s a long queue from 7/8am so best to get there early. The campsites around there get filled very quickly. 

I have never bothered personally but a friend did last year and queued for about 45 minutes.

Greenpeace also have showers, and there's Lost Horizon Sauna too. 

Personally I'm an advocate of keeping a microfibre towel and small washbag in the bottom of my day bag and just popping into Greenpeace or the Kidzfield for a shower in the early afternoon if I happen to be passing and there's not much of a queue. I did this twice last year and can thoroughly recommend. 

I felt fresh as a daisy on Friday afternoon after dropping the kids off in the railway line long drops then having a 3pm shower at Greenpeace after a 3 minute queue.

Thank you that’s good to know. I remember having a shower there in 2003 I think but the queues were insane. So that’s good advice cheers.

I am going to do similar this year, hammam towel, flannel and a small bar of soap in the bag. 💪 hardly weighs anything.
