Why Go
Glastonbury is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any festival-goer. With hundreds of stages, world-class headliners, and an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated, it is the pinnacle of UK festival culture. Beyond the music, you will find theatre, circus, cabaret, and entire hidden areas waiting to be discovered. For campervan owners it also makes a superb anchor for a longer Somerset trip: Glastonbury town and its famous Tor are minutes away, Wells and its cathedral are a short drive, and Cheddar Gorge and the Mendip Hills sit within easy touring distance. Plenty of van owners build a full week around the festival, arriving via the coast or the Levels and decompressing somewhere quiet afterwards rather than joining the Monday exodus in one hit.
Campervan Information
Campervan Access & Facilities
Glastonbury offers dedicated campervan fields with pre-booked pitches. Spaces are limited and sell out extremely quickly, often within minutes of going on sale. Campervans must be under 8 metres in length, and you will need a separate campervan ticket on top of your festival ticket. The campervan fields have basic water taps and portaloo access. Because you are parked up for the best part of a week, treat this as an off-grid trip and provision accordingly: arrive with a full fresh water tank plus a couple of collapsible carriers so you can top up from the taps without moving the van, and leave with your waste tank empty so you have full capacity for the duration. There is no hookup, so a healthy leisure battery is essential — a rooftop or portable solar panel earns its keep across five days of phone charging, lights and the fridge. Once you are pitched, the van stays put until you leave, so plan your arrival carefully: queues build fast, and getting in early means better ground, a more level pitch and neighbours with room to breathe. Standard pitch etiquette applies — keep guy lines, awnings and chairs within your allocated space, and keep noise down late as the fields are where people actually sleep.
Top Tips for Campervans
Book your campervan ticket the moment they go on sale as they sell out in minutes.
Arrive early on Wednesday to secure a decent pitch with good ground conditions.
Bring extra long wellies and levelling ramps as the fields can be extremely muddy.
Pack a portable solar panel to keep devices charged over the five-day event.
Fill your fresh water tank before arrival and carry a collapsible container for top-ups at the field taps.
Plan a quiet night somewhere in the Mendips or on the Somerset coast afterwards rather than driving home exhausted on Monday.
