The campsite is located on ‘centre course’ and is a short walk to the Festival Village.
You will need to exchange your ticket for your wristband BEFORE arriving at the campsite.
On arrival, you will be allowed to drive on several perimeter roads around the camping areas, close to where you would like to pitch your tent. Cars must then be removed to the car park. Cars left on campsite roads or firebreaks will be removed by security.
Only Camping Pass holders can camp (live in vehicles see below). Day Camping Pass holders may camp overnight, but must leave by midday the following day.
Please note that in inclement weather (it does happen) arrangements may change in – follow guidelines by stewards on arrival.
If you are being dropped off by someone who is not attending the festival, enter by the box office on foot. Gates open at midday on Friday 3rd June. Please do not arrive before this time.
Arriving before Friday? You’ll have to find alternative accommodation I’m afraid.
The very latest you will be able to stay on site is midday Monday 6th June.
Day ticket holder camping is only available on the night that your ticket is valid for until midday the following day and NOT the night before the day your ticket is valid for.
When pitching your tent please allow at least 3 metres between you and the nearest tent.
Open fires are NOT allowed anywhere in the campsite.
Disposable/gas BBQs are allowed provided they are raised off the ground. Heat from BBQs damages the grass below meaning it is unable to grow back. We’d prefer it if you used Gas camping stoves.
Please make sure any cooking equipment is raised off the ground and in good working order.
Camping Areas
The campsite is divided into 4 separate areas; an area for those with disabilities, a family area for those with er..children, a quiet for people who like an early night and a more chilled atmosphere and a general area for everyone else.
If you have special requirements please email the office with your needs and we will try to accommodate them if at all possible.
Sorry, no stereos or drums on the campsite and please consider your neighbours at all times.
Do not leave valuables, wallets or money in your tent, and look after your possessions over night (see information on lock-ups below). This is a family community so please get to know and watch out for your neighbours.
Sorry, no pets on site except for Guide Dogs. (This applies to EVERYBODY working on or attending the festival).

Campsite Facilities
There are a number of facilities on the campsite including regularly serviced toilets (really, they are) showers (how posh) and water points. There will also be a café to get hot food and drinks and a shop on site for those last minute essentials. The security tent is staffed 24 hours, and campers should go there for information or help.
You can securely charge your mobile, camera or other gadgets for £1- £2 over the weekend (bring a charger if you can, though some are available). We also provide a locker service for valuables, but please don’t bring them unless absolutely essential!

Event Accommodation
Camping Made Easy
Imagine arriving at an event where your tent is pre-pitched and waiting for you to arrive, your airbed pumped, your sleeping bag unrolled, and your pillow plumped. Imagine no further, Greenfields Camping is here! Simply turn up to your event and we’ll look after the rest.
Camp with us and we shall pitch your required tent, pump up the airbed, plump your pillows (okay not this far), watch over the camping area whilst you party, and answer your queries with a smile at the reception.
All you have to do is book your tent through our super simple online booking system and turn up. We’ll meet you and show you to your tent, make sure you have everything you need and leave you to make yourself at home. But we’re never too far away, and we’ll be checking the pegs every day and keeping your airbeds pumped up on demand.

Live-In Vehicles
Are you one of those people that like to bring the comforts of home with them: campervans, caravans and any other type of live in vehicle are more than welcome. Please note campervans will be placed in a separate area to tents. This is due to fire regulations. If you bring a campervan and also have a tent, your tent must be pitched in one of the camping areas not in the campervan area.
Caravans CAN go with tents in any camping area, but please make sure the hitch is facing out towards the road way or firebreak. You are welcome to attach an awning to your live in vehicle.
