Temp campsite RAF Fairford?

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?

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.
