No camping on site - there was an official campsite nearby - But due to certain dickheads they won't be letting us back on this year.

iv camped at whittlebury park (i think that what its called) which is just 5 mins away but to tell you the truth it has been getting more and more boring on that campsite. last year was rubbish! (probably due to crappy weather though to be fair)

Camping is best at the whittlebury park site was there 2008 and it was a good crack, was at a different site last year was good but not as good as whittlebury

whittlebury have their own private road which leads you straight into the circuit so if you've had a right beavy up the night before you aint gotta worry about driving on the road and getting nicked

I'll be roughing it again this year at whittlebury

If you register on the Travelodge and Premier Inn websites every so often they send you emails promoting cheap stays. If you book early enough you can sometimes get a room with the Travelodge for Ł9 but more often it's Ł19 or Ł29 depending on the offer at the particular time. Premier Inn offers are usually Ł29 so if you can find one of these offers you can get quite a cheap stay.
