We used them in 2009 for Spa. Camp site is about 10 mins from the track. Top entertainment on Saturday night(can just remember). Elvis and Amy Winehouse stayed there as well.

I'll be using them again this year.

Anyone used these for the British GP or know of any better camping options?

Cheers for reply but just noticed they want another £95 each for shuttle service to circuit do not want to drive each day maybe do Silverstone instead the campsite is with in walking distance plus the money i save can go towards some other events such as Le-Mans and Spa historic weekend in Sept

We stayed at campsite L’ Eau Rouge (they have a web site just type the name in), booked it direct wasn't that expensive.
About a mile and a half walk to the circuit along the old circuit.
Had toilets, showers a bar that served snacks, but like all campsites for major events everyone is wanting to get out and use facilities at around about the same time of day, so you've got to get used to queing or get ready at oddball times.

For the British GP, Whittlebury park is your best bet, again direct with them and a walk to the circuit.

Stayed at L'Eau Rouge a couple of times. Brilliant pub around the corner in the village. It also provides an unique insight into the Ditch culture. Certainly wasn't what i was expecting first time round. Mullets and EuroTechno music is the norm.

2009 my Brother & I stayed at www.francorchamps-camping.com ('The Elephant'), Campsite It had what you needed showers/toilet wise. plenty of room so your not hard up against tent/'van next to you, did get busier by Sat Night but still not rammed, 15 min walk to Eau rouge entrance, a couple of wee local bars straight out of 'allo 'allo in the village. if its a bustling night life you want, maybe not the camp for you. but good bunch of race fans all nationalities and handy for the circuit its hard to beat.

Thanks for replies and links really like the sound of the ALLO ALLO bars in a village love that sort of thing.

Looks like we may do Silverstone (but still look into Spa) the CampingF1 is on the Whittlebury Park site and i like the idea of the pre errected tent nice large tent i can stand up in and less gear to squeeze in the car to be honest had gone of camping as never got much sleep at Le Mans normally due to the heat plus people letting off fireworks all over the place and setting fire to things i now use a small hotel plus i am a tart when it comes to my car like it in tip top condition so worried about damage from the high jinks.
