Spa - good non official campsite

[gshughes]

I've got my F1 Mojo back after the events at Abu Dhabi, so have got tickets for Belgian GP which has always been one of my favourite circuits. We are going as part of a family camper van holiday, so does anyone have any recommendations for good campsites?

My wife and daughter have no interest in F1, but are happy to potter around the campsite while my son and I go and watch the race. The kids are 9 and 11, so I'm thinking the official campsites with loads of Dutch fans would be best avoided to maximise sleep and also so that the non attendees have a few more facilities during the day. We will have bikes and I think this is probably a good way to get to the circuit, but we'll want to get back to the van relatively quickly after the race, so perhaps a maximum of a five mile radius would be good.

Many thanks!

I have stayed several times, walkable to the circuit.

Have stayed at Eau Rouge too. Woke up in the middle of a larger than normal Eau Rouge in about 1996, but it had been raining a lot.

Prefer Domaine Long Pre but that’s the other side of Stavelot

Stayed there as well, good but a drive into the circuit.

Last time we went to spa was 2012, so pre-Max and the big Dutch influx.

We stayed here, which was within easy walking distance of the circuit.

Whatever you do, don't stay at Elephant.
