Has anyone booked/stayed with Airtrack? We're going as a large group this year and someone else else has taken care of the booking for us. From what I can tell the campsite is within Houx, have I got this right? Any views on this campsite?

Im not entirely sure about this year but since 2005 at least, Airtrack have been next to Karting Nord and the Prost Kart track the other side. We considered it a few years ago and decided it was too expensive but you do apparently get good showers and tiolets which is probably worth the extra money alone !

Made friends with one of the Air Track hospitality girls when it was next to Karting Nord. Got to use the absolutely amazing showers and toilets which there are loads of so no waiting and smells fresh as a daisy compared with Monsoir Toilets Toilets in the ordinary campsites. I was impressed with Security as well. Huge gates around the whole set up and a big bouncer on the gate who only lets you in if you have a Air Track Wristband. Must be expenisive though as every car in there was Aston, Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche etc. In Maison Blanche for first year this year so will have to slum it but hay! thats half the fun.

Hi, I believe they have moved since 2005, think it was 2009.
I'm told it's up near Houx, this should give you an idea

See you there

We've stayed in Airtrack for years, and the security, toilets and good company far outweigh the cost.

Can't put a price on camping and having a st in a nice loo followed by a nice warm, clean shower first thing in the morning smile

Sounds like a good place then? Whats the best way to get there- I'm assuming via arnage? Is it easy to find?

I read its 10 mins to the track- is that about right?

Due to a new child and Achilles operation I didn't go last year, but the boys said it's nearer the main village than karting where it used to be. As has been quoted, it moved last year.

I'll find out how far it is to the track next week, but the old venue was about 2 minutes closest poiint to the circuit and about 20 minutes to the village, so I guess 10 would sound right.

My experience is the site is clean, secure and has had facilities that are getting better by the year. We now take a camper rather than a tent and hook up electricity and have a very civilised (read drunk) four days. I have been told the bar/restaurant was very good last year. They also have a large TV so football/Canadian GP is available smile

The old site did used to suffer from debris under the surface which made pitching a tent interesting! We used to take the biggest nails we could find! (oh, and it used to flood quite badly) so the move can only be a good thing.

Excellent! I'm glad we booked through them then, the chap who booked it works for them so it was a no brainer. We're going as part of a stag do, can't wait. Just waiting for a '24 heures du stag' car stickers to be sorted!

No, thats further over behind the Village at the top of the Houx.
