Booking Tips
- Book immediately. Glamping sells out before lineups drop.
- Read the small print. Some "glamping" is just a pre-pitched tent with nothing inside.
- Check the location on site. Close to stages means noise until 3am.
- Group bookings get better value. A bell tent for 4 is cheaper per head than individual pods.
- Consider third-party providers. Tangerine Fields and Pink Moon set up at multiple festivals.
