How much is the 'karting' campsite then? May have to consider this for next year if its that good. We've stayed in the red and also the blue campsites in the past...they are what put us off camping. We're setting off thursday nite to get to dover early doors friday...ferry crossing at 9am then a nice 'cruise' down to leman....got the cubans ready just need to pick up the champaign

heard karting is good

were staying in houx annexe, good showers and toilets and decent atmos, and you can make as much noise as you like without pissing anyone off.

some of the campsites at lemans are proper out of the way and crap though

off at 3.30am weds 13th

We book ours with AirTrack for 2 of us in a car including chunnel, campsite, track tickets we paid about £400 each.

campsite has electricity as well all laid out to your tent ready for when you arriveif you order it, you can even have a tent put up ready at your pitch for when you arrive, for a cost obviously

We bought a fridge last year from the local supermarket

whole site is surrounded by a big fuck off fence, with an entrance guarded by some mean looking chaps and their meaning looking dogs

think this is our 5th year if im counting corectly - awesome few days away.

we camp over by the airport, clean showers, breakfast and dinner every day, huge marque with cheap beers, constant minibus shuttle across the field direct to the lemans gates (3 minute drive).

all that and entrance tickets and ferry crossing for just shy of £300.

we do an over night stop on the way down in Rouen aswell, few more beers and a meal etc.

makes for a brilliant few days away.



we leave next thursday morning
