3 of us are camping here:

20 mins walk from the circuit, but if you buy the 'plus' package you not only get breakfast but also guaranteed seats on the coach to the track. We are going across on the Thursday afternoon ferry crossing, aiming to be in Spa by about 7pm.

You're the right end of the circuit, but that's quite a walk, further than the elephant which is quite a slog up that long hill.

There is a better route down to La Source, the route marked on that map takes you in at Eau Rouge, bypassing all the activity outside the circuit and no use at all on Thursday when they only open the La Source gate for the pit walk.

I'd walk this route (Marked in Red) it's less hilly and there's more to look at (And a pub where it hits the N62 for a cherry beer!)

We're camping closer to the circuit at the Racing Hotel, but it gets a bit loud there.

Just to chime in on that one my friends and I have used campingf1 for our annual trip for 6 years (they didn't do Austria last year) and they're always very good. Having a clean porcelain toilet to crap in takes the edge off this camping malarky. biggrin
