We (me and the heir to the Norfolkit empire) are off to Spa for the first time in August and we'll be camping which not something I've done in a while. Now we've done some camping at the Windmill campsite at Silverstone and NK junior was a regular festival goer in his Uni days but neither of us has done it for a few years. We're looking for a campsite that's fun but not too mental, something that might offend the Caravan Club but wouldn't actually need the attendance of the of the riot squad, So close(ish) to the track, with a bar and hot food and a good friendly atmosphere (and if it had toilets so clean they wouldn't look out of place in an operating theatre, that would be a bonus).

Seem to be four main options, official campsites (green/yellow etc), F1 camping, Elephant and Camping l'Eau Rouge. Looking at feedback for them all, they all seem to divide opinion, some people love them, some hate them.

Just looking for some personal experiences of the good and bad about them.

Not official green if you want any sleep the Dutch will be out in force and they do love an all night party. Or book this by accident wink and show her how to properly do Spa.
Her is 6 feet tall and goes by the name of Ben, I'll let her know about the campsite though smile

That was the one we went for but they're full. They did email a couple of alternatives to me though, sounds from their reply as though a couple of campsites used for F1 have closed this year. We ended up booking F1Camping.
