Mark_Storm 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Planning to go to Silverstone next year and camp the weekend. Is there anyone who's done this before and could recommend a campsite? Want to be as close as possible and somewhere lively, nothing 'quiet and family orientated' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Mark hi, I am sure you can camp at Silverstone itself. I certainly have before in a motorhome though. Have you looked on the Silverstone website? If no joy, I will try and find out locally for you Wendy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Hi Mark I work next to Silerstone, and there are quite a few camp sites for the Grand Prix, like wendy said check out the silverstone website. Most of the camp sites are lively, and there is a fun fair that goes on for most of the night, if you need any more fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_Storm 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks peeps I did look at the website and most refer to being 'family friendly'. The only one off the website that seems to be more of a party site is Litchlake, but they don't take bookings. Hoping to get up on Thursday so shouldn't be a problem but would prefer to have something booked, or atleast a couple of options in case it gets full Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Mark - Is it the Grand Prix you will be going to ? If so, I don't know what Dude VR6 thinks about not booking camping, but certainly hotel, B & B stuff, i would really reccomend booking. I am 4 miles north of Banbury and its gets busy round here Grand Prix time. If you do get unstuck though, I will always let you pitch a tent in my garden - at a cost !!! :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_Storm 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Full English about 4ish? Done deal :D Yeah its the Grand Prix I'm going to. Won't be doing a hotel or b&b, want to be right next to the circuit, so it's either camping or sleeping in the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark_Storm 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Yeah, I know how you feel. Not bought em yet but planning to this weekend, credit card should help me out till end of Jan. Should at least be warmer even if its still raining! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted December 9, 2008 Mark if you do make it to the Grand Prix, look out for me, Black Corrado VR6, M reg with a Force India F1 car pass on the window. I hope you enjoy the Grand Prix, I did last year as I was working for Force India F1, but as usually both car fell off the track. I have my fingers crossed for the coming year now we have Mclaren/Mercedes engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silverstone village residents can afford their "GP week's Holiday in the sun" for what they charge for 4 days use of their driveway for an RV! :shock: :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is going to be a few of us of here so if you see a few corrados together come and grab a beer, they'll be plenty :D Silverstone village residents can afford their "GP week's Holiday in the sun" for what they charge for 4 days use of their driveway for an RV! :shock: :cuckoo: Most of the campsites are only open 1 weekend a year, says it all really!
