Benefits of Glamping at Glastonbury Festival
No need to Bring lots of camping gear
One of the biggest benefits of staying in an off-site glamping or camping site is that you don’t have to lug all of your gear from the car/coach aaalllll the way across the festival to your campsite!
You just arrive, check-in and get shown to your accommodation. Stress-free, you’ll be sipping cider before you know it.
Dedicated Car Parking next to the Accommodation
You won’t have to use the standard Glastonbury Festival carparks because all of the off-site accommodation offer car parking space (for an additional fee) that’s extremely close to where you’ll be staying.
Hospitality Access (But Not all Accommodation Offers this)
Many off-site accommodation providers can offer hospitality tickets for an additional price. Their respective websites should have this information. Hospitality access in Glastonbury Festival allows you access to ‘that bit between The Pyramid Stage and The Other Stage’ and many other shortcuts throughout the festival.
Hot Showers, Flushing Toilets & Facilities
Who doesn’t want a refreshing shower after a day of dancing, jumping and raving? Flushing toilets are a luxury that will make every other festivalgoer jealous!

Extra Security
Offsite accommodation at Glastonbury Festival is not accessible to regular festivalgoers. Only other guests will have access, which gives you extra security that you won’t have random drunks wandering through your campsite!

Transport to & From the Festival Gates
As these accommodation options are all offsite, this means that you’re staying outside the fence. You’ll have to enter and leave the festival gates to access your accommodation.
However, all of these offsite campsites and glamping place offer transport to/from the festival gates 24 hours per day.
Extra Special Facilities
There are even swimming pools, bars, campfires, barbecues and health spas you can make use of! Such luxury!
Other Local Accommodation Near Glastonbury Festival
Hotels and B&Bs
You could choose to stay in a hotel or B&B nearby, but they do get booked up quickly. Prices are also inflated due to the popularity of the festival.
You’ll have to book early, and arrange for transport to/from the festival each day as well.
But on the plus side, you get to arrive refreshed and have access to hot showers and toilets.
Airbnb
You could also try Airbnb as well, but like regular hotels, expect these to be booked up in advance with inflated prices.
Local Holiday Rentals
Many locals offer their house as paid accommodation for the duration of the festival. Lots of celebrities actually make use of people’s houses as a base when the festival is on!
Worthy View
Worthy View is official Glastonbury Accommodation. Ticketholders can purchase a pre-erected scout tent or bell tent. There is no bedding or furniture provided so you’ll have to bring your own.
There are also showers, toilets and food options available in Worthy View that are not available to regular festivalgoers.
However, Worthy View is technically ‘off-site’ camping so you’ll have to leave through a gate to come and go. There is a rather treacherous hill involved in accessing Worthy View.
It’s tough going in hot weather but downright dangerous in wet conditions!
As its name suggests, you do get a lovely view of the entire festival up there. It feels secluded and private too.
Campervan Fields in Glastonbury
Even if you don’t own a campervan, you can hire one locally and have it delivered to the festival ready for you!
Only ticketholders can purchases campervan passes at an additional cost.
Tipi Fields in Glastonbury
There are a limited number of tipis available for hire inside Glastonbury Festival. They’re in a great location too – just off the railway track and close to the stone circle and Park areas.
They are available for hire from SeeTickets for ticketholders only. Like Worthy View, they include no furniture or bedding and they’re very basic inside.
