As festival’s go,
once that ticket is yours and you’ve got your head around the clashes the last
thing anybody gets excited about is the concept of actually camping, and all of
the nonsense it brings with it. But not at 2000 Trees Festival.
There are more camping areas at 2000 Trees 2016 than ever
before and they are all placed within a nice walking distance of each other,
the car park and the stages.
They’re also all based on an incline which means that the
further back you go, the better your view. Right now that view is incredible
with miles and miles of fields and wildlife out in the surroundings but the
immediate scene of stages, vendors arriving and the crew beginning to start the
busiest day of the week.
Once you guys all get here, that view is going to be out of
this world.
I’m also happy to say that the ground here is soft enough to
get your tents up without having too much of a fight on your hands and if you
do, or if tent life just gets too much for you, you can always retire to a hay
bale or hammock in the forest.
With all of that it stands to reason that something has to
be shockingly bad right? Most festival goers would agree that the worst part of
camping is that you have to actively psych yourself up to use the toilets.
Yeah, not here.
2000 Trees have won awards for their toilet facilities. I’ve
seen them be installed, and they are really very nice. Flushable and
everything, so no need to panic!
And although I can’t yet confirm this for myself I have it
on very good authority from veterans of 2000 Trees and its incredible organisers
that you are all lovely and friendly people who have spent the whole weekend,
for the past 10 years, being ultimately wonderful to each other.
So there’s really no need to panic about the camping
situation here. In fact, just get incredibly excited because by tomorrow, it
will have all started!
