CAMPING - 24 hour Le Mans 2025

Hi all

1st time here on the forum so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
I am a big F1 fan and was at Zanvoort and Monza this year. Two fantastic races to see Lando win in the McLaren, a team I have followed since the SENNA days. Followed by a FERRARI win at Monza.
What an experience I will never forget.

Anyway
I have a week ticket for LM24h 2025 which I got on resale. The problem is I do not have a camping ticket - non are appearing on the official ACO website.
I am a solo traveller flying from N. Ireland and getting a Train to Gard du Mans along with my small tent arriving on Wednesday evening and departing probably Monday morning or Sunday evening.

Questions;
Is it likely that a camping pitch will go on resale?
Is it possible to pay for my tent (2 man or maybe a 1 man) to be added to an already booked pitch? This is maybe where you fans can help out?
Do ACO release spare pitches?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Please let me know 1 way or another as I really want to experience the event from the circuit.

Thanks
Gordon

Hi Gordon, welcome to Tenths and the Le Mans subforum. Are you using the Telegram app for the resale site? It's quite quiet camping-wise at the moment although there has been a Hippodrome30 and a Clos Fleuri today. If you need the link on Telegram, it's -

Gordon, me and my mate Matthew have 2 pitches on Houx. You can pitch your tent on our premises. Several 10/10s regulars have adjacent pitches so you will meet them and hang out with them as well. Sent you a pm.

Welcome to the group Gordon.

You should have no problem finding a pitch for a small tent with any of the good members of this forum, the "camping pass" is really only needed for vehicle access.

Houx is a great central campsite for your first time and I am certain Vince and his team will make you welcome.
You will hopefully make some lifelong friends.

I bought a camping ticket off some guys on another forum for my 5th Le Mans in 2005 and we remained together as a team ever since (except 2020!).

as vince said there are quite a few of us ex tertre rouge campers on houx and pretty sure we can fit a small tent in somewhere in amongst the tents and cars. we will have a large gazebo close to the shower block for siting around cooking etc and sheltering from whatever the weather throws at us next year.
