Le Mans Classic. Camping sites nearby needed.

[harvey]

Can any one recommend any good cheap sites just outside Le Mans rather than the busy ACO sites?
We'll be there Thursday night for a week so we'd prefer a nice site with good facilities as planning to do the Loire Valley after the weekend and have a bit of a holiday.
Any good car museums or events to visit nearby after?
Cheers

Camping La Vieux Moulin in Neuville Sur Sarthe. Nice site in a decent spot right by the Sarthe. I haven`t got the number but I`m sure google will help.

The LE Mans museum is well worth a look round and you can also try and find the old Grand Prix course (courses) in Tours.

Try here mate ....... www.chateau-de-chanteloup.com/ about 15km's north of Le Mans along a stonking good road. Fairly cheap and very friendly. Just don't go nicking the good pitches before we arrive on the Friday

Hi Guys,

I will be there too, at Camping Chanteloup.
Can't wait...

Chaps,

I'm sure these campsites are much nicer than Maison Blanche but I really enjoyed the 4.30am alarm call trackside when 7 GT40s roared through - by the time they were round again I was on the banking!

There were so few people camping (MB was c.50% full) that all facilities were able to cope - there was never more than 5 in the shower queue! V. different from the main event - civilised even!

Hope this helps for 2 years time...

Hi,

I would really recommend Club Motorsport's site about 5km from Arnage - all the details can be found at www.clubmotorsport.org.uk but i went over for the first time this year for the 24h and 24h classic and had a great time. The facilities are great and there's a good buzz about the place and a fantastic stretch of road running past it where many a record attempt was made!

Cheers for now
