Try Camping Eau Rouge at Stavelot. Going for my 4th year next month. It’s a proper site with pool and good showers etc. There is a chips and burgers kitchen or do it yourself. The bar is busy with regulars and has a great atmosphere but goes quiet at a sensible time. There is a minibus connection to the circuit about 3 km away but walkable if you leave the circuit late. We’ve always been in the overflow field which isn’t as well groomed but heh, were not there for that. You need to book for 4 night Thursday to Sunday.
We think it’s great.
I have a similar problem; we were in Row 7 last year which is the top row and was great because you could stand up and see a good way further. I don’t know whether it was Block A or B though. We’re Block A row 2 this year so not sure how it compares. I would definitely go higher as the natural slope of the stands down the hill should keep your view of eau rouge unobstructed.
Part of your answer might come from where you are viewing the race from and whether you want to hang around to get on the circuit after the race. If you’ve not been before you must get on to Eau Rouge just to appreciate the steepness and By the time you’ve walked up to watch them derigging the pits it will be quite late. My campsite is at Stavelot and it’s quite a walk to the gate from the F1 village side, in excess of 25 minutes. I recommend staying an extra night, it’s a real good atmosphere at our site on Sunday night, replaying the race on a big screen etc. You’ll want to go again so use this one as a guide.
