While you may be tempted to drop all of your gear and get set up as quickly as possible, choosing the right campsite can make or break your festival experience. There are a lot of factors that you want to take into consideration before you set up and start partying. First off, don’t want to be right off the main road where drunk people might come crashing in, or people have easy access to steal your stuff.
