Regular visitors who enjoy a degree of comfort are advised to consider our Municipal Campsites (all within short driving distances) or our Hotels, Many personally selected and used by us over recent years. Alternatively those many fans who prefer to be in the thick of it camp at the circuit where facilities are basic and can be noisy but the camaraderie is superb.

Eurotunnel

With a crossing time of only 35 minutes from Folkestone to Calais, Eurotunnel offers the fastest Channel crossing with your car. Its reliable service operates around the clock, 365 days a year, taking the hassle out of travelling to the continent. Choose from up to 3 departures per hour during peak periods - no other cross-channel operator offers you more choice.

With its own motorway junction (11a M20) Access to the Passenger Terminal couldn't be simpler. Prior to boarding the shuttles, you will pass through both UK and French frontier controls which means on arrival in France, you simply drive off the shuttle and onto the European motorway network.

Whilst on board, relax in the comfort of your own car during the short crossing. The Eurotunnel experience is simple and hassle free - no wonder they are the preferred choice for over 1 million motorists each year.

FlexiPlus Upgrade - Upgrade to FlexiPlus to benefit from a dedicated check-in, exclusive lounge serving complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and snacks and priority boarding on the next available shuttle.

Please note: Height restrictions - when you book let us know if your car and equipment are more than 1.85m high.
