Sunday camping in Bleu Nord

[shortoke86]

Hi all.

Camping at Bleu Nord this year (not in the pistonheads enclosure - cannot quite stretch to that!) and I am debating whether to camp on sunday night or move on closer to Calais after the race.

How safe is the site and is it particularly secure? I seem to remember the security leaving after the race and looting occuring.

I was thinking of heading into the town after the race, however not sure if my tent et al would be ok. Don't fancy losing the tent and sleeping in the car!

Theres only 2 of us in our party so it would just be the tent and car.

Any advice is gratefully received!

on BSJ it has improved in recent years and security stick around until Monday. Make friends with neighbours works.

having said that I'm not convinced that Sunday night in town would be better than on the campsite.

Thats true! Just more chance of getting a decent meal rather than risking camping cooking after 5 days!

Thanks.

We're in Bleu Nord for Sunday evening this year as well. I think many others will be around too.

I'm in Bleu Nord for Sunday evening with a few friends, quite a few people do stay over to soak up the atmosphere (remainder of the beer)
If your neighbours have bolted for the coast, you could always pitch your tent next to a camp who are staying on the Sunday..

That is a very good shout. Will have to make sure we have sufficient beer supplies!
