Hi Mark
We've done the LM24 for many years but didn't go this year. It's become too much like hard work to get decent camping tickets without going to an agency plus the noise on the campsites is problematic for me.
If you want to stay on circuit, I'd recommend Maison Blanche, you'll need to book it through an agency as you won't get it direct from the ACO who organise the event.
Pitch sizes are 7m x 5m so chances are you'll need two pitches, most agencies will make you buy two General Admittance tickets to the race for each camping pass you book (which is nice  )
There is no electric on any of the sites other than Houx (and I doubt you'll get Houx as it tends to be prebooked by car clubs) and the facilities on most sites are basic with an insufficient of number of loos and showers, the blokes loo queue is usually about 15 people deep! It's better for us girlies because there are fewer there.
The campsites will be noisy overnight and by noisy I mean that many of the groups will take large stereo systems with amps that you'll hear from some distance away.
There is debate about yobbish behaviour, certainly it's quite rowdy, most of it is good natured but some is more problematic.
Personally, I'm not sure that I would stay on circuit with a little one, the roadways can be busy and some of the "boy racers" don't drive well so you'd have to keep a really close eye on him. BUT at least by being on circuit you can come and go in short chunks if he struggles in the heat?
I'd probably stay at Spay which is a municipal campsite about 5km away, it will mean driving in each day and the roads will be busy. There is also a campsite called Bounty which is English owned and I think they run a bus service to the race.
The other option that we have discussed is staying at Spay and also buying one pitch on Maison Blanche and sticking a day tent and some cooking gear on it so that we have a base for the day.
Can I recommend you go to Clubarnage.com and join there, there will be loads of info to help you. You can also download their Guide to LM for free (or preferably for a small charity donation!). Also look at the LM forum on Pistonheads.com for a feel for the event.
Ask if you want any more info.

Topic: Le Mans........
that has now made this a no go event for many of the Lotus 7 Club members.
. 
. As Caterham 7's are generally driven without any weather protection it is a particularly nasty experience.
