Hi, has anybody experience of camping near Silverstone, we have just booked to stay at Whittlebury Park Golf Club and wondered if anyone stayed there???

We were thinking of doing that in 2007 but the weather looked as if it was going to be quite wet so we decided just to drive from MK. It was the Whittlebury Park site that appealed the most as it seems to have direct access onto the circuit. Mind you I was a bit shocked by the price for electricity but they told me they have to lay it on for each event.

We camped there with a caravan 4 years ago for the superbikes at that time there was only 20 electric hook ups and the vans were close together.facilities were fairley basic,but they usually are at sporting circuits.there was then another large field fo all the other vans and tents.They may have now got more hook ups and facilities.It is an easy walk to the circuit but it depends where your entrance gate is.Would camp there again as long as we got the electric as we used all the caravan facilities rather than the site ones.Also good to be able to return to the van and not get stuck in the traffic and return home the next day after the meeting.hope this helps John

We stayed last year and it was brill 2 vans and tents 16 of us - Toilet facilities are rubbish and after 2 days were filthy and blocked up (posh portaloos) also showers rubbish but....what a location!! direct access to the track, we were on the pavilion site which was close to the bar - going again this year- the drivers stay at the hotel on site so you can see them as they go out in cars/hcopter n the mornn and at night when they return- most of them will come over to the bariers and sign autographs
