Is this campsite a scam?

[DuerLiper]

Hi all,

 

Have been looking at this Holt Farm campsite, but as its new and seems to be locating itself in last years sticklinch car park I’m thinking it might be a scam? Thoughts?

There does appear to be a lot of empty field near Gate D but no idea if it is genuine. Have a look at this map - https://www.glastopedia.com/festivals/2023/satellite 

Maybe a local can assist @parsonjack @pilton diggerany idea?

They appear to be part of Yurtel - https://yurtel.co.uk/events/glastonbury-festival-glamping/

 

Drop Yurtel an email to check they are genuine. Please remember to report back! 😊

Looks to be genuine imho....the location is on land just East of Holt Farm, which itself is at the end of Holt Lane off Stickleball Lane. 

 

I'm not sure I fully believe all the 'luxury' claims but for pitch your own very near to Gate D it's a bit of a steal at £350 inc parking compared to other such sites.

Ah now I have noticed that Yurtel may indeed be involved as Holt Farm has the same registered address as Yurtel in Marshfield.

 

If that's the case then it adds further credence to Holt Farm being a genuine option.

not any help Re: the OP question, sorry... but does anyone no how much Yurtel is?

 

just out of interest i clicked through the above link - and the idea of little garden shed with en-suite is oh so tempting!

 

wonder if i can find enough ££££££££££££££££££££ down the back of the sofa to pay for it...

[DuerLiper]

So I’ve emailed Yurtel and they do seem to be legit!

It actually looks quite tempting but put off by not being allowed to use a camping stove and cook at your own tent.

Cheapest option with parking at Sticklinch is £490 which is quite a lot more expensive than this option if you already have your own tent. Plus there is never enough toilets and showers for everyone at Sticklinch. 

 

I would assume that as this is a relatively new option, and most people would have already sorted their plans for 2024 then it won't be super busy. So could be really good option.

Yes, this is what I spotted too! Apologies I should have pointed it out to you.

I would suggest that you contact them, there is a link in one of my replies above. Personally I think you are going to need to search down the back of a LOT of sofas!  😂

Looks like a decent price and being on the level will be appealing to people wanting a bit more space and facilities. 😊

Really considering this for a bit of extra comfort it looks quite good - for 2 of us, assume we could stick 2 tents at our pitch spot? So £125 each it seems. We would have to walk from coach drop off to there is the only thing.

According to the website up to 5 people can stay on one pitch. The pitches are 5m x 5m so it's a decent size. 🙂

Thank you - my friend took the plunge and booked it so we will give it a go. It just seemed a bit odd them announcing it so late but it looks decent for the price 👍

That's probably why it's a such a good price, Yurtel their sister Glamping company costs a small fortune. I am grateful to own a caravan!

£100 for parking is a bit cheeky. But £350 overall is good. Guarantee it will be at least £500 next year. They have left it so late this year that most will already be sorted

Hello, newbie here but I wanted to jump in and reassure you. I know the organisers and it isn't a scam. Just brand new therefore they are still building their following on social media etc. I have booked and can't wait.
