When you first arrive at GPtents

GPtents hotel-like Belgian campsites have all tents built on flat luscious green grass. Upon arrival you are greeted by the staff who offers each one of you a welcome drink of your choice. 

So whether you had a long trip or not, you can refresh yourself with a bottle of water or a great cold beer – definitely comes in handy! Then you head to a reception desk where you are gifted a welcome pack which includes everything you might need during your stay:

• A brochure with important info about the camp – breakfast and diner time,
• check-out time, camp rules, menu, etc
• A map of the camp and of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit
• A parking permit
• A set of earplugs
• A wristband
• Other cool surprises!

You are then given directions to where to park your vehicles on GPtents parking lots with 24 hour security.

Once you are done at the reception, you can head to your place to accommodate yourself. GPtents offers either a pre-built and fully equipped tent (suitable for those who like their luxury) or an empty camping pitch where you can set up your own tent or park a caravan, motorhome or a campervan (fit for those who want the full camping experience!).

CAMPING

For those who want the full camping experience during the Belgian Grand Prix, GPtents recommends booking an empty camping pitch.

What are your options:

• A SMALL camping pitch of 21 m2 fits 3 people, one tent, no car

To ensure comfort, GPtents recommends booking a large camping pitch, especially if your caravan is 7 meters long and weighs 5 tons, which is the maximum the large camping pitch can fit.

FAQ: Can I choose the location of my camping pitch myself? 

GPtents assigns the camping pitches upon your arrival. It is first come first serve, so come as early as you can to set up your camping equipment on the best camping spot! 

Dinner is available at the GPrestaurant where the chef prepares a la carte street food menu daily from 5 pm to 10 pm.

Hygiene is the priority

As hygiene is GPtents‘ highest priority, the camp offers flushing toilets and showers with hot water guaranteed on site. There is also a 24 hour cleaning service and sinks both inside the cabins and outside the facilities. 

GPtents always makes sure the area is clean, so the staff goes around the camp several times a day to take out the trash and pick it up from around the tents.

Security – check!

GPtents includes 24 hour security, so the site is completely safe and secured. The night security staff makes sure the camp is quiet during quiet hours (no big parties allowed) and monitors any inconvenient activity. The day security staff manages the parking situation, watches the cars and picks up garbage around the camp. YOU ARE ALWAYS SAFE AND SOUND IN GPTENTS
