Be the most comfiest people at Glasto with Easicampers
In the verdant valleys of Somerset England, a musical phenomenon was born. It was the late 1960s, a time of cultural revolution and musical evolution. Free festivals were sprouting up across the UK, and in 1970, the first Glastonbury Free Festival was held, inspired by the ethos of the hippie movement and the free festival movement. The event, then known as the “Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival,” saw a modest gathering of 1,500 people. Little did they know, this was the beginning of what would become one of the world’s most iconic music festivals.
As the years rolled on, Glastonbury grew in size and reputation. The Pyramid stage became its emblem, hosting some of the most legendary performances in music history. From David Bowie to Beyoncé, the festival’s stages have seen artists from all corners of the globe and all genres of music.
But as the festival grew, so did the challenges of attending. Thousands upon thousands flocked to the site, and with them came the logistical challenges of accommodation. Tents sprawled as far as the eye could see, and while they offered a certain rustic charm, they also came with their fair share of discomforts.
Enter the campervan.
For many, the idea of hiring a camper or motorhome for Glastonbury was a game-changer. Here are some of the undeniable advantages:
Unrivalled comfort in a campervan
Unlike the often cramped and damp conditions of a tent, a camper/motorhome offers a comfortable bed, a kitchen, and often even a shower. After a long day of dancing and revelry, festival-goers could retreat to their own cosy space.
Stay secure in a camper
With lockable doors and windows, campers and motorhomes provided a more secure environment for personal belongings compared to a tent.
Enjoy flexibility with a campervan
Arrive when you want, leave when you want. With a camper or motorhome, there’s no need to worry about setting up or packing down a tent. Plus, if the British weather decided to show its unpredictable side, you could easily move to a drier spot.
Campervans are part of a strong community
Camper & Motorhome parks within the festival grounds became their own mini-communities. Neighbours shared meals, stories, and formed bonds that lasted long after the final encore.
Renting a campervan offers sustainability
Modern campers & motorhomes often come equipped with solar panels and environmentally-friendly amenities, aligning with the eco-conscious spirit of Glastonbury.
As Glastonbury continued to evolve, so did the ways people experienced it. The motorhome became a symbol of the festival’s ever-changing nature, a testament to the human desire for both adventure and comfort.
In the end, whether under the canvas of a tent or the roof of a motorhome, the spirit of Glastonbury remained unchanged. It was, and always will be, a celebration of music, culture, and the indomitable human spirit.

After the Glastonbury Festival has finished
The Glastonbury Festival attracts the largest population in Somerset. Once the festival has finished, Sunday night and Monday morning through to the afternoon is when you’ll see huge numbers of festival goers leaving the site. The Glastonbury Festival exits and the small country lanes surrounding the Somerset area can get grid locked. Please ensure you return the campervan at the designated return time. Please give us a call if you’re running late due to traffic.
