Fast becoming a favourite place for many fans - a longer
walk to the track and the Village than most camp sites, but otherwise a
fine place to stay

Added at the last minute in 2002, this site is out
past Karting Nord where the road goes under the track. It's getting more
organised now, and has good viewing potential (if slightly remote).
- Pros: Views nearby of a great part of the
track
- Cons: Much semi official "fencing off" of private
areas for locals/marshals/others
- Typical Camper: Mr Last Minute - "camping
tickets - do you buy those on the gate?". Increasing numbers of
Chavs and those who don't care where they end up
2009 Update Continued
flooding issues in parts of the site after 3 wet years in a row. The
toilet areas are reportedly in better shape - more organised in 2008
than before.
2008 Update Beausejour
will be broken into two areas, a zone with 105m2 areas, and a zone with
smaller 35m2 plots.
A cautionary 2006 review
from Beermountain member Mr Smitters:
"This
year was completely different to last year. We were guided into a pitch,
instead of being able to choose our neighbours, which was highly
annoying, especially as we'd arrived early to ensure we could go where
we wanted to!
The local toilet block was no longer manned, so was filthy most of the
time and the showers were always cold. not so bad when the weather's
warm, but a bit much when it's freezing.
There were large areas close to the entrance fenced off for pre-paid
groups, meaning even an early arrival was guaranteed a pretty hefty
walk.
The security were pretty useless - more traffic controllers.
The idiot element was much higher this year. I saw chavved out cars
doing handbrake turns really close to tents and other cars. The most out
of order thing we saw was an old boy trying to take a hammer to said
car as it had splashed mud up his camper van!
The pikies were much worse. We didn't lose anything we didn't want to,
but every time they came past we were all standing and just watching
them, which meant a stressed out end to the trip and a late departure.
I'll not be coming back here unless I've no choice."

    The business - worth working hard
to get
   A fine campsite, have no worries at all
staying here
  No major problems, but if you have a choice, this is
not the top drawer of sites
 Not a disaster, but unless your needs are very specific,
this probably wasn't your first choice
See if you can trade for something better, but at least
you have somewhere to camp, right?
