Nicely situated,is it recommended? Or is there anywhere else nearby?

Sooty.

This will be my 5th year going to stay at the Barn Farm, it is a very good price and the location is exellent. If you want to watch the show from the site then you can still see everything from there. Also the people that run the site are very friendly and helpful.

I would certainly recommend staying here, the only downside is no showers so you have to have a wash in a bowl or just smell for the few days your there

Just read the terms and conditions,no cooking inside your tent.!!!!

Stayed there last year for the first time, very basic, but excellently situated for photos.

Always seems very popular and not to far to walk to the local amenities.

There's a choice of 4 pubs, 3 in Waddington and one in Harmston. Plus a Royal British Legion in Waddington.

You've then got a Chippy (also does Kebabs) / Pizza place, Chinese and an Indian. Also a decent sized Budgens.

Oh at the Budgens you could still get the discounted priced tickets on the Friday afternoon, which is great when your waiting to see what the weathers doing!

Must let me know if you will be there this year Dunk, if so I'll take you for a pint!

There's also a decent petrol station open until 11 pm too.

Hey Dunk, when you say very basic what do you mean?

I'm bringing the wife and there is no way she will want a field with dirty portaloos like Fairford campsites offer.

Just to add, it is basically it is a field full of Thunder boxes!

They are regularly attended and pretty clean.

Have to say it was a great spot, you have a gate to get in about 50 metres away, with a bus to transport you up to the static park. and only a 10 minute walk to the end of the runway.
Basic yes, but location is what its all about.

we ended up near a party of about 30 people in 6 tents - they were noisy, but quiet by 2300 ish.

Sounds like the lot up from us, even kept us awake, they ended up fighting in the early ours also.
think they was kicked off the next day,
