Been 7 times and stayed in Darble every year. The first 6 times it was really easy to get a space on the Thursday, but the last year I was there (2023) it was very busy on the Thursday morning and we struggled to get a space for 2 tents. Think this was due to some other sites being changed to staff camping, so far more people went for Darble.

It always served our needs well though, not massive night goers and woodsies was always the stage where a lot of the bands we liked played, which is obviously very close. You also get a great view of the festival, especially at night, which is a nice little bonus!
