Woodlands Campsite
The main official campsite with hot showers, flushing toilets, and food vendors. Walking distance to the circuit entrance.
£80–120 for the weekend
Walking distance to circuit
Whittlebury Campsite
Slightly further from the circuit but quieter. Good for families. Shuttle bus to the gates on race day.
£60–90 for the weekend
Transport needed to circuit
Camping Tips
- Pre-book camping when you buy your race tickets — it's a package deal and sells out
- Silverstone in August can still be cold and wet. Pack as if it will rain, because it probably will
- Bring wellies. The camping fields turn to mud in wet weather — 'Rainstone' earns its nickname
- There are no shops near the circuit. Bring all food and supplies with you
