A family-run farm campsite just south of the circuit, 5 to 10 minutes' walk from Club Corner at best, open all year. Its F1 page, open for 2027 bookings, prices a non-electric pitch from £140 to £240 by arrival day, and you need a race ticket. No pets, save guide dogs.

Verified Nov 2026

One of the closest fields to the track on a good day, and the only one here that also works outside race weeks, at £15 an adult a night. Arrive late on a Grand Prix weekend and the walk stretches to 40 minutes, so the early arrival price buys you something. No pets, save guide dogs.
