Small, friendly, and a bit on the quiet side, but not to far from the back of the Village

Technoparc was added in 2003 after a year as the Airtrack VIP (sic) private site. Situated on the road out past Houx and next to the chopper pad, its a sensible place to camp, if a little on the small size to get a "real" camping atmosphere.

2008 Update There are no changes to Technoparc. It will continue to have no showers.

• Pros: Not too far a walk, comfy, mostly harmless
• Cons: Feels a bit isolated from the race as there is not a glimpse of the action from the site. Slightly flat atmosphere
• Typical Camper: Genuine mixture of car clubs and campers from across Europe

Here is a 2007 update from Beermountain member Mr Swayse

"This is a small campsite over the road from the Karting track just south of Karting Nord. It takes about 5 minutes longer to walk to the main track area than from KN.

It is a fairly quiet campsite as far as race noise goes, most of the noise comes from the helicopters up above and although partying is going on it's not wild.

The people there are a mixed bag loads of Brits, some Danes, Germans, French, Dutch etc. Mainly groups with their own set up ranging from 6-20+. One group brings a trailer full of beer barrels and a bar all the way from home. BUT NONE OF THOSE LINES OF CORPORATE TENTS YET!!!

The access is not bad once you get passed the Arnage roundabout entrance (via the Porsche Club and Beausejour road). There is only one way in and out, with good security on the gates. (Until the usual Sunday post race disappearing act).

There is a mobile toilet block with plenty of English style loos but no showers, we either had to walk over to Karting Nord or use the Jeremy Clarkson £10 Maplin car shower special, which to be honest worked really well.

We arrived around 4pm on Thursday and had plenty of spots to choose from, but as you can see this year was rather wet and the camp was erected during breaks in the rain. I would not suggest arriving any later than this though as space ran out quick and by Friday lunch time was pretty full.

As this is a small site, the ground did not really cut up and the main road round the site was tarmac so no one really got stuck in the mud.

So to recap it's a nice compact site, fairly quite, a fair walk from everywhere but not as far as Beausejour, a friendly site with basic facilities. No corporate, no bars or food stalls just good company."

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?
