Which campervans am I allowed to bring to Glastonbury Festival?

For Glastonbury, there are four distinct kinds of campervan areas and tickets:

East Quiet Campervans/ Hired, Delivered Vehicle Pitches (Blue route): This pitch measures up to 8m by 7m. It can accommodate vehicles up to 8 metres in length. Families, people with mobility challenges, and those seeking a quieter field would all benefit from one of these pitches.
East General Campervans (Blue route): This pitch measures up to 8m by 7m. It can accommodate vehicles up to 8 metres in length. With the exception of the noise regulations, it is essentially the same as the first option of the pitches available.
Bath & West Campervans Regular Pitch (White route): This pitch measures up to 8m by 7m. It can accommodate vehicles up to 8 metres in length. With a free shuttle bus service running around the clock to the festival grounds, it is situated at the Bath & West Showground. Thus, it is essentially identical to the second alternative but is located farther from the event grounds.
Bath & West Campervans Large Pitch (White route): This pitch measures up to 16m x 7m. It is appropriate for vehicles longer than 8 metres. With a free shuttle bus service running around the clock to the festival grounds, it is situated at the Bath & West Showground.

Small campervans, such as Volkswagens, can choose from the first three options. However, you must select option 4 if you are renting a larger motorhome, such as one of our six-berth models. Double-checking your campervan’s or motorhome’s measurements in advance is critical to avoid being turned away when you arrive.

The campervan field will only accept campers or caravans equipped with sleeping, washing, and cooking amenities. All of our motorhome and campervans will have these facilities and amenities, so your mind can be put at rest. Check out our motorhome hire page for more details on each model we have available.

Arriving in a campervan or motorhome at Glastonbury

Tips for travelling to Glastonbury with a campervan or motorhome

Before you buy your Glastonbury campervan tickets, decide what kind of campervan or motorhome you want to rent out. As this cannot be changed afterwards, it guarantees that you know whether you need a huge or regular pitch. You must therefore be aware of the number of guests that will be staying in your rental motorhome or campervan
Make a reservation for a campervan. Make sure your van is ready in advance because these are very popular times for renting a motorhome. Making last-minute reservations will be challenging, if not near impossible
Verify that you are qualified to hire and operate a campervan or motorhome and that you have the appropriate C1 driving license category. Before you confirm your reservation, make sure of this.

As soon as you get there, put everything in its proper position; otherwise, the van will quickly get disorganised. Utilise advantage of the storage space that campervans and motorhomes offer! To prevent waking up other people, place any items you might require in the evening close to the bed(s).
Make use of the refrigerator and, occasionally, the freezer if your motorhome is equipped with one. If you can, prepare ice cubes and a lot of water. This is crucial if Glastonbury is held during warm or hot weather. Hang a damp towel outside an open window to help cool your motorhome rental.
Packing your outfits for each day individually is a helpful packing tip. They can all be placed individually in a ziplock bag or packing cube. By doing this, you may immediately get what you need without having to go through the entire cabinet.
Before leaving for the festival, make sure your campervan or motorhome rental is securely locked and that all windows are closed.
