West End Paddocks
A family-run event campsite on the south side of Silverstone village, just off the A43, by the former owners of the Henwood site. It runs F1 camping and day parking and CarFest camping, with a bar and food. No dogs, and no dates or prices are printed.
Easy to reach from the A43 without crossing the village, and handy if you want to drive in for one day, as it also sells parking. Its site shows no 2027 dates or prices yet, so check before you count on it. It did not open for MotoGP in 2025, so do not assume it opens for every race.
- Good: Just off the A43, 10 to 15 minutes' walk by the council's figure
- Good: F1 day parking too, about 15 minutes' walk from the main entrance
- Good: Bar, food, music, a shop and a pamper tent at F1
- Good: Rated Platinum on West Northamptonshire Council's Silverstone campsite list (June 2026)
- Worth knowing: No 2027 dates or prices on the site when we read it
- Worth knowing: No dogs; the field slopes slightly, so bring levelling blocks
About
West End Paddocks is on the south side of Silverstone village, just off the A43 slip road, about 1.6 miles by road from the circuit. It is run by the previous owners of the Henwood campsite. West Northamptonshire Council puts it 10 to 15 minutes' walk from the circuit, and it is one of the choices for where to stay for Silverstone.
At the British Grand Prix it offers a bar, food vendors, live music, warm showers, a pamper tent with charging points, a shop and security day and night. Cars park by your tent, and barbecues are allowed if raised off the ground. Pitches must be vacated by Monday lunchtime. Book ahead: payment at the gate is cash only, and only if there are pitches left.
