Spa - Best campsite?
Discussion
Hi all,
As a regular Le Mans attendees, next year we're going to try Spa for the Blancpain 24 hour, for the first time.
I've only been to Spa once and stayed at a hotel so have very little/zero knowledge of campsites at the track and in the surrounding areas.
At Le Mans, we have camped away from the circuit for the quiet element but it means driving all the time which is a pain. We've also camped at the track so we can cycle around and have beers. We normally camp at Mulsanne as it's a great corner, there's a supermarket a 5 minute walk away, a big screen to see all the action elsewhere on the track and the atmosphere is generally good.
What we're ideally looking for is a campsite at/in Spa so we're close to the action but we also need a supermarket not too far away and preferably we don't want somewhere where there's German House music blasting out all night!
Can anyone recommend a decent campsite that's well within a cycle ride, is secure and not likely to be occupied with idiots?
Thanks,
Rich

In my experience of Le Mans, having a bike makes all the difference in the world.
Having been to Spa once before, I highly recommend taking one - everyone in my group is taking theirs. There's a track running around the cicuit which you can walk in a few hours but bikes would be better.
Also with a bike, you can cycle round, stop at every bar on the way and not worry about getting 'home'... win win!
As for the security factor, certainly at Le Mans this is a big consideration but so long as you lock your bikes up at all times, you should be ok. Most of the theives are opportunists rather than determined criminals (Le Mans anyway)
