Airtrack (le mans virgin)
Discussion
Don't tell everyone but it is great,
Its well worth the extra cost due to the facilities and the location is pretty good.
Depending on what day your going down the traffic getting to the campsite will be hideous.
Also take a very big hammer and some very long tent pegs as the ground is very stony and hard.
The bar is ok but expensive but your only a 10min walk to the Dunlop curves and the Stella bar!!!
See you there.

We've been with them for the last 4 years and vowed last year never to again.
For what they offer, it used to be good value but the prices they are charging now are ridiculous considering unless you get there very early in the week (we were there by midday on Thursday last year) you are likely to be camping on a very hard patch of dirt with no shade to speak of, paying for overpriced beer served by the "staff" who seem more interested in drinking than serving....
However, it is secure but there is much much better value to be had.
We'll be staying in Maison Blanche this year for a fraction of the cost.

Looks like i'm going to Le Mans for the first time this year in a selection of rather exciting cars! We're probably going to be staying at the Airtrack campsite! What's it like? Any recommendations for things to do, be aware of etc?
Cheers,

Been going for the last 5 years or so - I wrote a Rough Guide a bit back for some mates who were virgins in 2006 - if your interested drop me a line at yyorkshire@hotmail.com
Agree there's no way they are worth £55 - you could buy one cheaper out there and then bin it. They are very small and wouldn't fancy being in one if there's a downpour.
Understand about the space - Jim and I are taking bin bags as our clothes, tent & tooth brushes
