Camping during the Le Mans 24 Hours is a mixture of camaraderie, fun and living on the wild side.
There are a number of campsites – all very close to the circuit, within walking distance or by using the circuit train. Every vehicle will require a permit to camp at the Le Mans circuit during the race week. This will give you approximately a 7m x 5m plot for your vehicle and tent.
If you require more space (for a large motorhome or trailer for example) two or more pitches can be purchased.
If Egyptian cotton sheets and en-suite bathroom facilities are more your thing, please review our link Le Mans Classic Hotels and Chateaux.
Camping during the Le Mans Classic is a popular option. It is not on the scale of the 24 Hours and only a limited number of campsites will be operating. It is the inexpensive and entertaining way to pass a Le Mans motor sport weekend. The Maison Blanche campsite is next to the circuit and has shower and toilet facilities.
