Spa F1 camping advice
Discussion
Ive been to Spa for a few track days and always stayed in the radisson but its too late to get a hotel now, im happy to camp, what is the general advice for camping at spa? take wellys and ear plugs? 
Ive searched a few sites but cant find much, one or two permanent sites further away and other than that the f1 camping site [url]http://www.campingf1.com/events/belgian_grand_prix{[url] which has pre built tents, transport, breakfast, showers, bar etc. It sounds alright but has anyone experienced it?
Id like to be somewhere with a bit of atmosphere but a shower is a must for the gf, im less bothered about hygene.
Cheers

I've used the circuit campsite before. Needless to say, you have to prepare for rain. Try and avoid a flat pitch, you will end up underwater. You will need earplugs and wellies. There is a great bar that offers great rain protection, as well as beer and food. It's very handy for Les Coombes.
Most of the campers in there are hell-bent on having a bigger soundsystem and smokier bonfire than their neighbours. I would say that sleep is not possible without earplugs and copious amounts of beer.
Oh, and dont go anywhere near the portaloos until just after they've been emptied.
On Sunday night/Monday morning be aware that other campers' cars will be sliding down the slopes, and other campers' tents will be blowing across the site.

Wow i'd read some bad things about the Spa's temporary campsites and you've confirmed them! Very glad i went with a permanent campsite.
My brother and i booked "camping Spa d'Or" which seemed nice and very cheap at just 50 Euros for the whole weekend! They also offer a shuttle bus to the circuit for about 10 euros.

I hope this helps!
We're also travelling to Monza after Spa, anyone else doing similar?
