The last few years I have stayed on the camp site as it is so convenient for getting in and out. LM provides a bus service or it is a 15 minute walk. We used to stay in Southsea but it is an hour in through the bypass car park!!
I have found the best place is north of circuit towards Midhurst as it is an easier run in. In 2011 I took the E type as part of the 50th thing so of course couldn't tow the caravan!! Th problem is they get booked up so far in advance it gets difficult. PM me and I will give you further info.

Will you have your own transport or be relying on public transport?
Are you thinking of: camping (tent, caravan, campervan), bed & breakfast, hotel (* or ****) etc?
What's your budget?
Personally I have used camping (primitive) in the field behind the Anglesey Arms, camping (civilised) at a commercial site South of Chichester and driving down (a long day but do-able from Coulsdon)

I was hoping the thread would be an information source for anyone attending Goodwood, so it's open to all options.

Basic as hell/ aesthetics of a prison...no breakfast.
We had double room...£43.
Plenty good enough.
We booked in January for September. Will do the same for 2012.

I've used the Royal Norfolk as a base a couple of times, recall it being pretty reasonable and doing a good breakfast.
Silverstone I have only ever camped at to avoid the traffic.

I also see that the Startline Grandstand ticket are cheaper than Woodcote, does that indicate Woodcote is the better option of the two?
Thanks.

Woodcote stand is a better view than Chicane anyway so dont worry ! You can see all down the straight and right though Woddcote and the braking zone for the chicane. Dont think about Startline unless you actually want to see the grids more than the racing !I purchased tickets for Woodcote Grandstand thinking it was the Chicane, but I now see from the map that is a different grandstand. However, there is no listing for Chicane Grandstand tickets, is it an 'invited guest only' kind of arrangement?
I also see that the Startline Grandstand ticket are cheaper than Woodcote, does that indicate Woodcote is the better option of the two?
Thanks.

Re accomodation, look further afield eg Worthing. Only 35 - 40 mins drive and I dont find traffic much of a problem from that direction.
