Hi I am looking for a little bit of advice.

I am taking my sons (8 & 7) to their first ever Grand Prix. I have decided to take them to SPA as I have camped there before for the GP and bronze tickets are ok for the whole weekend as we wander round and get the atmosphere.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a campsite where it may be possible to get some sleep after midnight? I know people like to party at most campsites but I hope there maybe ones where parties stop at a certain time?

I was hoping to walk or shuttle to the track if poss but this is secondary.

I have remembered the ear plugs for the racing by the way.

Thanks in advance

Can't give any advice re Spa, but would suggest getting a couple of pairs of ear defenders for the kids. They are easier for the kids to use than ear plugs.

We camped up the hill from the town of Stavelot in 2007.

It was quite a good spot.

Sadly we had to go through a company called Camp F1 who were a bunch of pikey rip off merchants.

So perhaps investigate options around Stavelot, it will be quiet but you'll need to take the short drive to the circuit each day.

And avoid Camp F1. They suck.
