Spring Ground (Accessible Camping) Glastonbury. Glastonbury is open to all, and over the years, they have tried to make the festival site as accessible as possible for all types of festivalgoers. This includes a separate camping area for people with permanent disabilities. Here is all the information you need to camp at Spring Ground.
Do I have to register to stay in the Spring Ground camping area?
Yes, the Spring Ground camp area requires you to register well in advance (once you have secured your Glastonbury Ticket) to be able to camp here. Please contact the Festivals Access Team for more information – [email protected]

There are concrete ramps at the entrance to the field.
All Festival-goers (including children 12 years and under) needing to use any of the access facilities, including the PA ticket scheme, must complete the Festival’s online access application form and have either a valid Nimbus Access Card or the digital Nimbus Glastonbury Access Pass.

How quickly does Spring Ground fill up?
