Verified Nov 2026

Dog-friendly

A proper race-weekend field a walk from the circuit, for people who want bars and food on site without booking Silverstone's own camping. It takes dogs on leads, which several neighbours refuse, and West Northamptonshire Council rates it Platinum. It publishes no pitch prices, so ask for the total before you commit.

  • Good: About 1km from Gate 5, a 20 to 30 minute walk
  • Good: Dogs on leads allowed, and a quiet field
  • Good: Accessible pitches near the facilities, and rated Platinum by the council (June 2026)
  • Good: £2 shuttle each way from both entrances
  • Worth knowing: No pitch prices on the site: ask
  • Worth knowing: No shuttle back on Sunday, and gas stoves only: no barbecues or fire pits

About

Silverstone Farm Campsite, also called Grand Prix Camping, is at New Rookery Farm in Silverstone village, about 1.7 miles by road from the circuit and 5 minutes on a clear road. On foot the site puts it about 1km from Copse Corner, Gate 5, a walk of 20 to 30 minutes, and 2km from the main entrance. It is one of the choices on our page on where to stay for Silverstone.

Pitches are large, 10m by 7m, for tents, caravans and motorhomes, with or without electric hook-up. There are glamping tents with or without bedding, showers, water points, waste disposal, wash-up stations, Wi-Fi and phone charging, and the site is gated at night. Food is served on site at New Rookery Farm, with breakfast at about £5.50 to £13 and wood-fired pizzas at £15, and there are bars at both entrances. Cooking on your pitch is by gas stove only: the site bans barbecues and fire pits. The £2 shuttle runs to the circuit in the morning and back from about 5pm to 6pm, but not on Sunday.

Bookings are by event. For 2027 the site lists the British Grand Prix in July, MotoGP from 12 to 16 August and CarFest from 26 to 29 August (the festival itself runs 27 to 29 August), each with its own booking page.
