How far from car park to camping area?

Hello
This year will be our first time at the festival and we're bringing our newborn and 2 yr old with us. We have a tent that weighs a tonne and that along with the buggy, travel cot, nappies etc we're a bit worried about the logistics of getting ourselves from the car to the camping area.
I've read elsewhere on the forum (with dread, I must admit) about a hideous hill. I reckon forewarned is forearmed so I'd be grateful for a heads-up on what we might expect. Also, any tips from other parents in a similar situation would be gratefully received.
Thanks

I think the car park for family camping was in a different place to the main parking last year and closer to the campsite. I could be wrong about that though.

None of the car parks are far from the campsites. I think thats the perception of that was from people who had come to the festival when it was very small, and you could drive your car into the camping area. I have three children and the youngest was 18 months last year and I found it fine. We have an 8 person tent and it was easy to get it to family camping which is near to the festival site.
There are two car parks and both have a slight hill to the campsites and festival but the good thing is that its downhill as you get there.
Friends of our who came last year took their stuff back in two journeys. I looked after their kids while they did the first. They said that they do that at all festivals they go to as they are tired by the end of the weekend, and they find it easier.
We just left in one group and found it fine though.
Its still very small and is very easy in comparison to other festivals. such as Womad, Big Chill, or Bestival where you have to walk up and down very high hills or get bussed from car parks.
