I've done some bits of business in Belgium, and always found them to be friendly, helpful people. Bruges is a beautiful city. I love the fact they use their canals so much for commercial traffic.
And don't forget Eddie Merckx
Spa is a beautiful circuit. I watched a 24hr Motorcycle Endurance race there many years ago. Don't remember where we camped, though, so can't be much help
We're booked to stay at Camping L'eau Rouge. It's an ACSI site, I think it is about 2km to circuit entrance but haven't stayed there before so not sure how good the campground actually is.

I haven't stayed there myself but a colleague did for the Le Mans Series Race a couple of years ago. It's a nice enough site but I'd say it's a long 2 kms to the circuit - certainly to any of the public entrances.
