Camp Bestival Shropshire takes place in the grounds of Weston Park. Most of the festival activity takes place outdoors in fields. The site is on farmland, there are no hard standing pathways in the arena or within campsites. The majority of the main arena is on relatively flat, even ground. There is a downwards incline leading from the Accessible Campsite Car Park to the Box Office on the Accessible Campsite There is a downwards incline leading from the Accessible Car Park to the Accessibile Box Office (on the Accessible Campsite). The dedicated walking route from the Accessible Campsite to the main arena leads from the campsite entrance across a flat, tarmacked road, then follows a fence line through a flat area of camping ground. The ground conditions are weather dependent, in very dry conditions the ground and grass may be dusty and compacted, after heavy rainfall the grass may become muddy in places. There are some areas of site where trackway or wood chipping can be laid if the ground becomes soft or slippery after heavy rain.
