Temp campsite RAF Fairford?

Post by Wijgert IJlst »

Haven’t been to RIAT for a few years now, but have planned to return this year.
Was used to pitch up a tent on a temporary campsite on a farmland along Horcott Roard in Whelford (along the fence), near the north-east area taxiloop and platforms. But I can’t seem to find any info about this site on Google. Is this still active and also open during this years RIAT?
With some other (official) campgrounds fully booked now, I want to be sure this one will be open. Otherwise I have to reserve a spot somewhere else perhaps.

Can any one please advice on this?
Kind Regards / Groeten,

Sadly, most if not all of the campsites in the surrounding area will be booked by now. Your best bet is a hotel room in Swindon, Cheltenham or, if you don't mind a longer drive, Gloucester. They won't be cheap though, by any means.

Best of luck with your search, hope you're able to make it.
