24 Hours of Le Mans 2023 - join us!
Next year promises to be one of the most exciting races in recent history - here's how to be there
Anniversaries are like buses around here. Next year doesn’t just mark a century of Le Mans 24hrs, but more importantly (depending on who you ask), 25 years of PistonHeads. In more ways than one then, 2023 is the year we’ve all been waiting for, and we couldn’t be more excited for the spectacle that’s going to greet us on June 10 and 11.
With Peugeot and Ferrari set to join the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) class, and Porsche and Cadillac building prototypes for the new LMDh class, it’s going to be a belter.
Of course, we'll be heading back to celebrate with our longstanding partner, 1st Tickets. Our private campsite is located at the heart of the Bleu Nord campsite, just a few minutes walk from the main circuit, where you’ll join 400+ PHers for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Assuming you'd like to join us. Which you definitely should.
Our regulars will agree that our campsite is the best place to stay in Le Mans on race weekend, and with this list of perks it's easy to see why:
- Pre-allocated camping pitches mean there's no rush, your space will be set out for you whenever you arrive
- Cooked meals included (3x full English breakfast and 3x evening meals)
- Fenced perimeter for your peace of mind
- On-site security, including night patrols at the weekend, to protect your car and belongings
- Private toilets and warm showers, so no long queues for the facilities
- Large marquee with a cash bar - a social hub for all campers whatever the weather, with live TV coverage of the race so you don't miss any of the action
- Free Wi-Fi access
Your package will include general admission to the race and channel crossing (standard up to five-day return), with options to add on pre-erected tents, grandstand seating and helicopter flights.
To be one of the first to hear about our final plans and to book for 2023, register your interest here. We’re already experiencing very high demand for next year, so make sure you don’t miss out. See you there!
(glad to be proven wrong, of course)
Questions:
Is it possible to pay a bit less and go self-catering? Our group enjoys the cooking almost as much as the racing.
Does the PH site accommodate small camper vans or is it tents only?
Cheers
ETA: And to those who've been before with 1st, is it cheaper to book your own Ferry etc, or do they get discounts?
Worth noting that current prices on the 1st Tickets website are a guide only, based on 2022 pricing. And the private campsite includes everything as highlighted in the article – a secure private campsite, hot meals, marquee with bar and TVs, clean showers etc etc.
Yes you can do it cheaper and you can book public camping through 1st Tickets if all you want is a tent pitch. I've spoken to plenty of people that have previously stayed on the public Bleu Nord campsite and been on the other side of the fence in a long queue for a shower looking in at our facilities, that come and stay with us the following year
I'm coming solo, but I think I'm going to go for a full glamping package to have the most chill time possible.

With the ACO delaying camping going on-sale, we're now expecting to launch our packages early in December. It goes without saying that it's highly likely we'll sell out from our pre-sale so if you haven't already registered your interest, then make sure you do so here for your chance to stay with us.
