Planning for 2018

[Caterbroon]

I'm just starting to think about plans for next year and thought we might go a week earlier to take in scrutineering the weekend before the race. We will probably camp on one of the private sites on circuit but I think most of these don't open until the Wednesday before the race. Is this correct? Are there any camping facilities around le mans close to the tram line ? or am I looking for a hotel for a few nights until the campsites open?
