Campsites - which one and why??

[Ferret Boy]

There seems to be a very divided opionion on which campsite is the best, with each one attracting its loyal band of followers. Has anyone got any particular thoughts on this or is there a good guide out there??

Thinking of maybe trying somewhere other than Bleu this year....

What do you drive for a start, if you want to be with others of your marque that could well affect your choice...

[Ferret Boy]

well that makes things a tad trickier seeing there are so few MCoupes about...!

also going to have a 996 Turbo, S2000 and either a Focus RS or a Viper (eek)

having a think about Beausejour this year - anyone stayed there before??

thanks

Houx Annexe is usually fun

Mungo's spot on... Houx Annexe is for your more loony Le Mans-er... You mustn't mind loud music until the early hours, fireworks and general silly behaviour!
The roundabout antics are legendary, although getting a bit over the top at times nowadays... There's always a few who'll go a bit too far and threaten to spoil things for everyone...

I'll try not to regret selling my Cupra-R while drooling over yours!

Have been on their mailing list for a while and having looked at their site their offering does look very impressive.

Alas a bit to far away from Houx where we'll be camping next year, but perhaps for 2006...

Good for cold beer and chilling out - over to the main grandstands for messyness. Or those sodding roundabouts for much hilarity!

Group of us had our fair share of antics on Beasejour this year.

NB - you can get fined 45Euros in Arnage for excessive acceleration if a 2 gerndarm on bikes catch you!

Chris,

they are good - if you cant be arsed drinking warm beer and cooking yer own crappy brekkie in the mornings! Plus if it rains, they have shelter!

on the downside, its in Beausjour - so it takes 30 mins to walk to the pits - although there is a bus service for part of the way. beausjour is good location for spectating - porshe curves are amazing (where the 2 lead audi's collided this year in the opening hours), albeit with restricted viewing. Plus convient for walking to Indy corner by night...

Plus, we've got the 'Chili Wagon' this year - should see heavy service up and down to the Tribune and out to Arnage!

We were at Karting Nord last year - very good site with very clean wc/showers. There were a few bus trips, but none that were near us, or that got in the way.
