Apparently not. From www.beermountain.com

Do you need electricity? (Houx only, not Houx Annexe)

Probably the largest single campsite, the Annexe is situated inside the circuit between the Bugatti track and Tetre Rouge. It offers basic facilities (but getting better) and suits all comers, from car camping to full size motorhomes. Because of it's size and price it used to be the last site to sell out, however it now seems to be the tribal base of choice for many veterans of the Le Mans camping scene! You will need one ticket per car. There are semi official "spaces", but it's first come, first served, so if you can, get there by Thursday lunchtime. Reports from 2004 were that there was actually lots of space, so don't panic if you can't get there too early. It can get a bit dusty - this can be sorted by watering down the area around you.

Pros: Good atmosphere; quite close to the track; easier to get a ticket; it is possible to sleep here on Saturday night as the cars are more than 500m away
Cons: Not good if you like a quiet campsite, but there really is no such thing at Le mans anymore!
Typical camper: The Lads, The Party Animals, and those who just enjoy the Atmosphere

Houx is the campsite with electric points not Houx Annexe.

If you want power, the best thing i would reccomend is going to machine mart or somewhere simlar and buy a 240v inverter that works from the cigarette lighter.
