You can take a camper or stay in the glamping site there.
Camper a couple of hundred on top of ticket price if I remember rightly, glamping costs thousands.
You can stay in a B&B in town, but again, expensive and they book up quickly.
The festival site has an 8 mile perimeter, and depending on where you're put to park, it can be several miles walk to the stages/campsites etc.
It's also a decent walk between stages, and areas like shangri-la etc, and obviously along the paths between them all it's muddy as anything.
If you want quiet, some camping areas are better than others. But usually the quieter campsites are the furthest away from everything.
It's great fun and definitely worth doing, but it is noisy and muddy.
If you don't like noise and mud, and don't have thousands to spend on a tipi with a golf buggy to drive you to stages, then you won't enjoy it.
The fun is the noise and the mud! Stay warm, dry and just go to a concert if you really can't stand it.
Tickets - total nightmare!
Missed out on a couple of years despite camping out on their website for ages hitting refresh when they came on sale. Just have to be quick, get on the website early, and hope for some luck!
It really is fun, but you're gonna have to reconcile yourself with the mud. You will have to trudge through knee deep mud at some point if you go to the busy bits.
Our tent floated away one year too, my brother had to wade through the field it was previously in trying to find his crates of beer in what was by then a swamp.
Like I say - great fun
