ALL Adults (over 14) need to be added to the pitch – price dependent on your pitch arrival day.

You must all arrive at the same time on the same day as your pitch is booked for.

Prices are based on your arrival date and a leave date of either Sun 5th July or Monday 6th July.

Sunday night is included for no additional charge. 

Maximum of 6 persons per Electric pitch, if you have more you will need an additional electric pitch.

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

Location
For 2026 Electric Pitches have moved to behind the Shop – circa 20min walk to Silverstone.
(EHUs have historically been at the very back of the campsite with a 30 min + walk to Club Corner).

We request noise levels to be kept down 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 look to  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!
