The Belgian Grand Prix is the perfect example of when Formula 1 races become festivals. Camping at Spa-Francorchamps is right at the top of the bucket list of many F1 fans. It’s also a great way to avoid the worst of the traffic at peak times over the Grand Prix weekend.
It is crucial to know which is the best campsite for you though, as different racegoers are looking for different experiences at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Will it be a three-day party? Or are you just there for the on-track action and want a good eight hours of sleep each night?
This guide will point you in the right direction so that you don’t miss the party…or accidentally camp in the middle of it.
Camping zones at Spa-Francorchamps
It is crucial for F1 fans to get their camping right for the Belgian Grand Prix. If you’ve paid good money for a ticket, you really want to be in the right campsite to correspond with your expectation for the weekend. This detailed list of the different camping zones should help you make an informed decision, and make the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix truly unforgettable.
Green Zone Camping
The Green Zone is the most lively campsite at Spa. The Red Bull fans tend to favour this zone and they famously party through the night to the sound of Eurobeats. People get notoriously creative with their pitches so there is always something to see. This campsite has a real festival feel to it.
This site is one of the closest to the circuit so, depending where you’ll be sitting at Spa, you should have a long walk to see the on-track action.
Motorhomes are allowed in the Green Zone (prices below) but there are no facilities like water, electricity or waste disposal for them.

Spa-Francorchamps Glamping at Masta Camping
The Masta Camping is Spa’s glamping option. Here you can check in at a real reception area, enjoy quality showers and not have to worry about wrestling with your tent to get it up on arrival and down with a hangover.
If you go for the Comfort option, your pre-erected glamping accommodation will be waiting for you, kitted out with clean mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags. There is also catering onsite, as well as breakfast and entertainment until 1am. Motorhomes are not allowed on this site.
This campsite is much further away from the circuit though. It is around a 45 minute walk (2.5km) from Masta Camping to the Le Source entrance. You can pay for a shuttle bus but some people opt to bring along their own bikes!
There are two options for the Masta Camping site, and therefore two prices: Standard and Comfort.

Best place to camp at Spa
The best place to camp at Spa will vary according to what each fan is looking to get out of the Grand Prix weekend.
If you’re looking for more than a race and more of a festival, you will want to stay at the Green Zone or Young Person (17-27). You won’t get a lot of sleep, but you will go home with some special memories and stories to tell. You also won’t have to walk far to the circuit.
If you’re coming with young children, then the Yellow Zone or, if your budget permits it, even splashing out for glamping at Masta Camping.
Camping facilities
The best faculties available when camping at Spa are, predictably, in the Masta Camping. The showers and toilets are higher quality and less busy, with an on-site catering tent serving food throughout the day.
All camping pitches come with parking spaces. There are no electricity or water points in any of the campsites. Therefore it is highly recommended to bring water and power banks from home.
It is also recommended to bring your own food and drink, as most campsites have limited stands serving food. They are also expensive and close in the evenings.
Camping near Spa-Francorchamps
Camping at the Belgian Grand Prix will no doubt sell out. If that happens, there are a number of independent campsites not associated with the Spa-Francorchamps circuit which offer pitches over the race weekend of the Belgian Grand Prix.
We recommend the following campsites:
- Spa Family Camping
- IntentsGP (also offers Glamping)
- GPtents Camping Spa
Book camping tickets with Motorsport Tickets
We have a variety of camping options on the Motorsport Tickets website, but they are already proving incredibly popular. Once you have read through the information above and know where you want to pitch camp, it is highly recommended to book it as soon as possible.
The Spa campsites sell out every year, resulting in disappointment for many racegoers. If that does happen to you, you can find alternative options away from the circuit in the previous section.
See you in the fields!
