Most places don't let you book, the nice sites do, but the ones which are farmers fields next to the circuit 51 weeks of the year are first come first served.

If it's atmosphere you're after, head up the Dadford Road on Thursday night and get into Litchlake Farm which is on the right opposite the main circuit entrance or the one on the left off the bottom of the circuit beyond Club. All have temporary facilities (some even have shower blocks) but it'll be more "Glastonbury" than you might be looking for.

I have arrived on a Saturday morning and got into the one beyond club, but something tells me this year is going to be quite busy......

If you run a search on this there are some threads from previous years that will still apply.
