Camping in Rig’s Field
Are you looking for a laid-back camping spot with room to spread out?
Rig’s Field in the southwest corner of the festival grounds is the spot for you.
It’s perfect for those rolling in later than expected with plenty of space and low tent density. Just keep in mind, it’s a bit of a walk to the main stages and the heart of the festival. To get there, come through Gate D and park in the Orange lot. Although out of the way in location, Rig’s has the only path leading out of the more recent addition of Sticklinch Campsite.
Sticklinch replaced a previous campervan campsite, and because of it’s size (a lot bigger than Rig’s) you will see and hear foot traffic at all times of day and night.
Perfect for those looking for a more low-key spot and don’t mind a decent walk.
Pros

- If you plan on going over to the South East corner for nightly fun, your probably best off camping somewhere else.
- There will be a lot of people walking through, at all times.

For those who may not know, Glastonbury Festival is one of the biggest and most iconic music festivals in the world, taking place annually in the UK. This five-day extravaganza is like a magical kingdom, where the music never stops and the good vibes flow 24/7. The line-up is always a who’s who of the music industry, with past headliners including the likes of Beyoncé, Adele, Paul McCartney and Ed Sheeran.
But Glastonbury isn’t just about the music. It’s an immersive experience that’s hard to put into words. Imagine wandering through the lush fields, taking in the colourful and eclectic art installations, and getting lost in the diverse array of food and craft stalls. It’s like stepping into an entirely different world, where anything is possible.
One of the things that makes Glastonbury so special is the sense of community. The festivalgoers are a diverse group of people from all walks of life, but for five days, we’re all one big family. The vibe is so positive and inclusive, it’s impossible not to feel uplifted and connected to everyone around you.
See you on the farm!
