Camping at Monza

[Dave_newcastle]

Please - has anyone got any useful info of how to go about camping at Monza for the Italian GP.

I am exploring the possibility of a last minute trip and would travel by plane to Milan and then camp close to the circuit - so we would not have a hire car.

I have spent the last hour or so on the net trying to determine if we can pre-book a site or do we just turn up but not really established concrete knowledge. Some advice has been just to turn up, but I only see evidence of the official Monza site (which is quite small, 35,000 m2) or a pre-erected tent site (which is not what I want). Also there is some undisclosed problem with the official site with some people going this year had their reservations cancelled leaving them in limbo.

So are there many sites (official and private) in and around walking distance to the track ( I realise the circuit park is in an urban area)? Or do we have to camp further afield and use public transport or get a hire car so that we can get to the circuit.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to camp?

Also I am thinking of getting general admission tickets and not grandstands - I am happy to arrive early to stake a claim on a good viewing space and suggestions for that location also would be useful.

Any advice would be appreciated please

Thanks - that's the pre-erected site that I found and it works out at £310 for two persons in their small tent, which seems a high price, I am really hoping for something cheaper. We were intending to take our own tent.

Thank you - Lesmo campsite - that sounds good option and loads of space - we would probably arrive on the Thursday pm. Do you remember how much it was roughly? - We would be tent and two persons.
