On-circuit Public Camping

For many being in the heart of the action is key to their racing weekend. The Le Mans has a wide range of public sites that cater for the needs of the 24 hour race in June - many of these are pressed into service for the MotoGP but are operated on a far less formal basis; this can lead to a less than desirable camping experience.

If you are keen to camp at the circuit, we strongly recommend that you consider taking the Garage Vert or La Chapelle grandstand supplement as this includes access to dedicated camping areas close to the respective Grandstand and is limited in size to the number of seats in the grandstand.

If on-circuit camping is not appealing but camping is acceptable, we recommend our 4* off-circuit camping option.

If you are unsure, please call us as we are always keen to help you make the right decision on this crucial part of your trip.
