F1 2025 – Bookings OPEN – HOWEVER – Please Do Not Book until you are certain as we have a NO REFUNDS policy. We have lots of space, so no need to rush to book until you are sure you are coming!

Please Note that Electric and Non Electric pitches CAN NOT camp together – Hook up pitches are limited in size due to cabling.

Location
EHUs will be situated at the BACK of the campsite, 900m away from our entrance.
LONG WALK: It will be a 35 – 40min walk from the hookup area to Club Corner at Silverstone which is 1500m or so – bring your push bike! We request noise levels to be kept low but cannot be guaranteed.

Please note it is not possible to drive part way back to shorten your walk to Silverstone. You MUST stay parked at your pitch unless leaving site completely, if you have walking difficulties we suggest you book another campsite nearer Silverstone.

Alternatively bring a small quiet generator and go on the main campsite nearer Silverstone…. if you arrive early enough!

No Refunds
Due to the hire cost of all the EHU equipment, once an EHU Booking has been made No refunds will be available.
If Silverstone cancel the event more than 10 days before arrival you will be offered the chance to roll your hook up pitch to the new event date or request a refund less a £15 Administration Charge.

Pitch Size – 7m x8m
You must be able to fit your Entire Camp, including your vehicle, on to the pitch size 7m x 8m. This is due to the cabling restrictions. If you need a larger EHU pitch you will need to buy multiple EHU pitches.

Facilities
At the Hook Up area there will be Toilets & Showers and Toilet Waste Disposal & Mains Tap Water. Other facilities are available on the main campsite – see F1 Camping Page .

Electrical Details
Please take a look at the Electric hook up info download above.

Electric is provided by Temporary Diesel Generator due to the countryside nature of the campsite. This means the supply has to be restricted to 8amps. You should note that 8 amps is not enough for a conventional household kettle. If you use too many items at the same time the power will trip. It also means that you will hear the generators running close by to the hook up area. You should note that the Generators do result in some background noise, but with out the noise there is no electricity!

Live in caravans & campers
You need to bring a double insulated three core cable which is of an outdoor grade and has a 16a single phase CeeForm socket on one end and a plug on the other. This must be a minimum 2.5mm cable.

Tent Campers
You need to bring a suitable cable for their hook up. This must be a 16a single phase CeeForm plug (blue) with suitable grade of double insulated three core outdoor cable. 1.5mm or larger (twin and earth is NOT acceptable) The other end of the cable should be a 13amp socket with some form of protection, electrical and mechanical. The cable should ideally be 20m long but a maximum of 30m. The 13a socket must be kept off the ground, under cover & away from liquids. – Watch the video about how not to to do it!
