Townsend Farm camping

Post by f1jetfan » Sun Jun 26, 2016 2:12 pm

Hi all, could anyone give any thoughts on Townsend Farm camping as just booked 4 nights. Usually stay at Flyby but they say there fully booked this year. Any views on Townsend would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the info. I'm staying there and was wondering what it's like.

I've been three years in a row. I highly recommend pitching up close to the showers as you'll have quick access to them in a morning before the rush starts.
There's a bar which does burgers outside too at the other side of the site.

It's pretty good, they could do with a few more toilets though. It's great for seeing arrivals before and after the show.

Not staying there this year though, trying a hotel in Gloucester and driving in each day.

What's the view if watching the display from the campsite??

I am considering booking a night. I have a ticket for Saturday but I would stay the Sunday if the view from the campsite was half decent
