We visited this site in September. The Satnav directed us through Crevcoeur en Brie which wasn't that narrow but the western approach would have been better, avoiding the village.
The gates are always closed, which is good, so on arrival and departure the passenger needs to open them!
The reception from the staff on arrival was exceptional. Firstly, she had an infectious smile. She made us feel so welcome. Spoke excellent English and showed us to our pitch which was probably the biggest on site?!? We told her that we were bringing the kids to Disney as a surprise so she said she wouldn't give us any brochures as most of them has Mickey all over them! She said to come back to reception later on which we did but that lady had finished for the day. To our great delight the next lady was equally helpful and fluent in English.
I honestly can't praise these 2 receptionists enough. It makes such a difference to the whole experience.
The campsite is vast. 199 pitches by my sons count! Really well maintained. Every pitch has electric and water, to my knowledge. All pitches looked flat and well laid out for ease of access.
The toilet/shower block is spotless. Loo roll provided at door! Minor gripe for the wet shavers amongst ye. Not able to plug the sinks:(
The pool was, like many have said, a bit chilly. Only my wife myself and my 6 and 8 year old son and daughter would take a dip. I think the depth was an added factor for the 10 and 4 year old boy and girl. No shallow end unfortunately. I would say 4 ft is the lowest it goes. A man did approach us the tell us to stop using a large inflatable ring as they weren't allowed. To be fair we did know this but we were the only people there and couldn't see the harm. We told a little porky saying it was for the kids learning to swim, which isn't entirely untrue! Anyway 10 mins later he totally redeemed himself by returning with 2 sets of inflatable armbands. Another notch on the 4 vents belt!
We got all the info re directions to Disney. Also directions to the train station where we met another really helpful ticket clerk, telling us the best/cheapest way to get to Paris. We got a 'Visite' ticket which was the best option for 2 adults and 4 kids.
Not sure if this is a good or bad point. The campsite is on one of the approach paths to Orly airport so lots of low flying aircraft to be seen! Handy if you are getting up early for Disney anyway!
There is a small shop in the village that stocks the basics. No fresh bread though and we got the last fresh milk! Nice bakery in the village also with fresh bread in morning and cakes. Yum! There is a small chocolate factory in the village, that only my wife could find! The man behind the counter seemed to be getting a little tense with my 4 kids upsetting his neat displays. Saw a few daggers being thrown. Nice chocolates though, def worth a visit.
No shop on site and we were there for the last day of the food trailer that is on site for the season. Spoke to an English couple who said it was expensive though. From what I recall €4 for a large bag o'frites!
The playground was good with swings large enough for adults. I hear;). If you like table tennis there are 3 tables in a big shed. Bring your ball and bats. A volley ball court. About 5 bouls courts (petanque). The site is flat and tarmac'd so ideal for kids on bikes, scooters, fickers, roller blades etc.
Overall I really liked this site and would definitely recommend it, particularly if visiting Disney.
We stayed for 4 nights with 2 other families after spending 11 nights on the west coast.
On arriving we were met with friendly reception staff who spoke very good English.
The site is ideal location to visit Euro Disney and Paris. We spent a day at each and a day chilling out. The gate closes at 0100 so you are able to catch the fireworks at Disneyland and still get back on the site with your vehicle.
The pool basic and a little cold but the kids enjoyed the pool.
The toilets and showers were very clean and well kept.
There is a bread van in the morning and a food van/Bar in the evening. Only used this the first night and thought it was a bit steep, but nothing else close by.
The pitch sizes are big. We had 2 units on 1 pitch and a trailer tent on another pitch.
This is a brilliant site and wish we had spent a little bit longer at the site.
We found this campsite from this website. I'm a firm believer in reading other peoples' experiences and opinions and taking comments on board - as well as reading the campsite's own website.
We had previously camped in the North of France for the previous two years and having driven to Disneyland the previous year (for a day visit - yes, crazy!) I decided it was time to stay somewhere near Paris.
From the moment I booked online for this campsite - they couldn't have been more helpful.
As we had 3 kids and all our camping kit, by youngest and I travelled via Eurostar whilst hubby brought the car. The campsite were extremely helpful in providing me with taxi numbers to call when I arrived at the nearest station in TOURNAN. (Be warned - they DONT speak any english - and I'm pretty sure that once he realised I spoke French the cost of taxi fare was reigned in a little!)
So, we checked in and waited for my hubby. We paid for the stay when we checked in and the reception has LOTS of information about local activities (including the obvious Disney one). Once he arrived, we were taken to our pitch. WOW. It was on flat ground, and the grass was well kept (we later learnt that they whizz round with a mower in between departures and arrivals to keep it tidy). Hedges were on either side and at the back of the pitch - and with a Icarus 800, the extension, two windbreakers and a people carrier, we still had room to spare on the pitch. Electricity works the same as in the UK - no adaptors needed.
Pool is chilly, but in the heat when we were there, it was great!
THe snack bar was a little pricey and we only ate a meal there on the first night (as we were tired) - otherwise, it was quite handy to BBQ some burgers etc then send the kids up for some chips.
There was also some live entertainment on a few of the evenings as well - and they also sold ice-creams and had a bar - as long as you accept it's not going to be cheap and that you can take it or leave it, then its fine!
There are two sets of toilet blocks which were rarely busy - and a decent 'washing up' area.
It was the first holiday we were happy to let our 3 roam of an evening and the first time they've really 'hung out' with news friends - it was a big site - but felt safe. Lovely. Ours were 15, 11, 8.
We also made some good friends as well - which was nice.
The wifi zone becomes MOBBED with kids on iPods etc during the day - and especially in the evenings - as it's next to the bar!
We took a trip into Paris on the train - 34€ for all of us for the french equivalent of a travel card - which was a really good deal. Trains and underground are easy to find your way about.
If you go into Paris over the first weekend in the month, all the museums are free (worth a visit ) and there are lots of free concerts around Paris as well.
We drove to the train stating in TOURNAN for our trip to Paris - and my shock after confirming that the parking was FREE clearly showed on my face, as the member of staff started laughing!
ADVICE?
Well, the local supermarket at TOURNAN gets you the Basics, but coloumiers is much better for the 'hypermarket' feel.
If you are going to disneyland - BUY YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE - the campsite sells them far cheaper than at the gate - but still - for a 3 day pass at the campsite, you could get an annual pass (and that gets you free parking instead of 15€ per day!, money off in the cafe's and shops as well as being allowed in earlier than 'regulars').
Clubcard vouchers can be used for Paris river boat cruises -which I would recommend.
The eiffel tower queues are HUGE - not good with small kids
Montparnasse56 is a MASSIVE tower block - which has latched onto the tourism with fantastic panoramic views - and tickets can be bought using club card vouchers too.
Would I go again?
Ive already booked! 10 days in 2013, 13 in 2014 and I know there'll still be loads of new stuff to do/try !
Most points already covered, we loved this place, the most friendly staff in 5 years of caravanning, pool is cold but it is exceptionally clean, small kids need foam woggles to swim, inflatables not allowed and pool is quite deep. Morning baker vane xcellent, think they close end of August though. On site bar v expensive, 6 euros for s pint of lager, shame as otherwise we would have spent more time there. Great feel to the site and reception v helpful, get the mobilis day pass from tournan en brie for trip into Paris, this covers return trains and metro. Also parking for Disney much cheaper at Disney village, 1 Euro per hour opposed to 15 Euro flat rate, and nearer. You can't go wrong with this site.
This was our 3rd visit to the site and we weren't disappointed. The pitches are always extremely generous and the grass well tended and in good condition. As it was only a 2 night stop we didn't use the pool but did take advantage of the snack bar. We enjoyed the cooked chicken but thought the chips were expensive at 5. 50euro per large portion (barely enough for two people).
The site is very convenient for a short stop, as it is close to both the A4 and A5. Disneyland Paris and Vallee D'Europe are also key attractions. There are lots of families of different nationalities on site but the huge pitches mean that everyone has their own space and there is little disturbance.
I would recommend the site for long or short stays but it is particularly suited to families who want to visit Disney.
Just returned from a week at this fantastic site and would most definitely return!
We are a family with 3 kids (9, 7, 5), a large Hartford XL tent and an event shelter.
Why did we enjoy it so much?
- 4 Vents has the feel of a family-run site, with really friendly, visible staff keen to help and make your stay as comfortable as possible
- HUGE pitches, spaciously spread out and hedged for plenty of privacy, with electric and water on pitch.
- It feels like a smallish site so not noisy and there's no brash entertainment in the evenings to disturb
- exceptionally clean site - the toilets are spotless with plenty of hot water for showers (although the toilets lack soap but that's standard in France)
- free Wi-Fi at reception
- Van selling bread, croissants, juice/milk etc from 7. 30 - 11am
- tasty meals al fresco from 4. 30 - 11pm - make sure you try the pizzas - better than Pizza Express or Zizzi!
- good outdoor play area for the kids, and a covered area with table tennis/football, and also surprise pony rides on Saturday.
- location makes for an easy 20 mins drive to Disneyland
- We borrowed another reviewers advice and drove 10 mins to Tournan-en-Brie to catch a train into Paris (35 mins direct train and free parking at station)
- Small supermarket 10 mins away at Tournan with all the basics. Or Val D'Europe shopping centre 20 mins with vast Auchan supermarket and shopping mall.
Only downside we found was the coldish swimming pool that was quite deep, esp for my 5 and 7 year olds. Kids need to be able swimmers if parents are to relax!
Other than that, a truly special site that doesn't feel commercial in any way but operates genuinely for the love of outdoor holidays! We will most definitely return here.
Taken to your huge size pitch by a member of staff. Electric and water extremely close to your pitches and they are lit at night
Fresh bread from I think 730am-1100am. Hot food served later on in the day, chicken, pizza, steak, burgers good value.
Clean toilet and shower blocks
Very clean swimming pool.
Can't really fault this site but the only downfall is a supermarket is a bit of a distance but what do you expect for a stones throw from Disney. This is the second time we have stayed here and with my family I would highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back
We are a family of 4, kids are 4 & 6 and this is our best camping holiday so far which was also our first abroad, this may have been influenced a lot by the brilliant weather we had.
On arrival to the site we had a very warm welcome from the owners and were lead to our pitch where we were shown the water and electric point. The first thing we noticed was the size of the pitch it was massive. We pitched a Bear Lake 6 with the front extension, parked up the car away from the tent moved the trailer to the rear of the pitch, got out the kids garden toys (balls, swingball, mini basketball, tennis net) moved the fold out picnic table into the sun and we were not crowded !
The water and electric was convinently placed.
Everything about the site is very good as you have seen from other reviews especially Peachyclair's review. Also agree with the point about the pool it is very deep and the shallow part is 1. 5 metres deep is 1. 7 metres (in the centre).
Very enjoyable holiday the kids loved it and made friends easily, would go back again and highly recommend for a holiday with kids for visiting Disneyland and Paris itself.
Great site with fantastic owners who are tremendously helpful. The site is ideally placed for euro Disney (tickets can be bought at the site reception on the day)and also as stated before a short drive to Tournan gives you a train in to the heart of Paris ! Pitches are huge and the site is well laid out, just had 4 great nights here and will definitely be back! Only negative is the pool which is freezing for the kids
Party was myself, male late 50ies and son late 20ies. I have camped in France tens of times. One of the best sites I have been on. All facilities always clean, very well kept site. Rural location near to La Houssey en brie a small village. Local shopping limited. The ladies in reception were always cheerful and very helpful with good English. Our single pitch was a double in size. When I booked I asked for shade in a quiet spot which was exactly what we got. We used the outdoor bar for the odd meal and coffees. Fresh bread available in morning. Days spent in Paris. Drove to Tournan station (6 miles) and used a zone 1 - 6 metro pass to do the Paris travel, includes metro, trains and buses. Site also handy for Disneyland. One tent and car 5 nights = Euro 142. 00 Booked by email in English. No deposit required but you pay full fees on arrival. If you are doing the Paris museums get a museum pass as you will not need to queue for hours. Have a good time. Oh and take a satnav.
This site is very well run. The pitches are enormous with electricity and shared water close by.
The toilets and showers are clean and modern.
Good pool which is open until 9pm.
Snack bar which makes its own pizzas which were lovely and a small shop with fresh bread and basic provisions open from 7am to 11am.
Free Wifi at reception which extends to some pitches.
As most people are here for at least one day at Disney there are a lot of children and they can be a little noisy, so no lazy lay-in's here!
There isn't much to do in the immediate area, although there is a bus stop nearby, I think you would probably need a car.
The site is quite expensive, and I'm sure there are cheaper ones near to Disney, but it is very nice, the staff are very helpful and the facilities are good.
Returned yesterday from this site, where we spent a week with our kids aged 5, 10, 12 and 13 in our set up of bell tent, and kitchen shelter.
We loved this site; we have already decided to return next year and have an itinerary planned. It can be hard to find somewhere that covers the age groups we have but this ticked all boxes.
To start with the basics, the toilets are clean even when site is at capacity and everything is well maintained- you see the staff arout tidying up a lot but it's never obtrusive. Showers also fine, be aware there are wash cubicles but these are in the washing up blocks rather than the shower section and if ou are eating out a lot you could be entirely oblivious to that!
Pitches- huge. Also beautiful with flowers and hedges. We even had a bird quietly sitting on her eggs in a small tree on ours, something the boys adored. They have water and electric easily accessible, and none are far from facilities- the site is just big enough without being large.
Bbins are emptied often and mowing done regularly.
Site facilities are not in your face but still more than adequate. The park is basic but safe and fun, the reception area is well managed with plenty of information and friendly polite staff who were very welcoming and spoke English as well as french. The site ahs a snack bar (can't work out from previous reviews when it opens but certainly is was there in high season) that opens at 4pm and serves meals- usually basic but on Sundays they had moules frites etc as specials as well- as well as the usual crepes and waffles that children adore, with a range of ice creams and drinks. The bar owner understands and speaks English and is excellent with the children as well, a real site asset who seemed to appreciate my son's wobbly efforts to order in French.
In early mornings there is a croissant and baguette van, which also sells a few other bits- milk, ham, juice etc. Get there early. Sometimes they had music which added to a rather lovely ambience. There were also pony rides for smaller children on weekend days for 2 euros, time posted around the site, although we didn;t try this- did see some very happy looking small children trotting around on miniature ponies though.
The pool- be aware it's quite deep, and gets deeper as you go towards the centre. It's a shame they don't have a paddling / splash pool for smaller children perhaps under the seating area just outside the main part, but that's just a suggestion. Quite a few guests had a blow up one on their pitch. It is clean, fun and unsupervised: basic but adequate and necessary in some of the temperatures we had whilst there.
There isn't a prettier site that I know of and we thoroughly loved it. Congratulations to all staff, you've done a great job.
The area- well Paris is a ticket away from Tournan train station which is close and the ticket machine can be set to English (I can speak some French but my husband doesn't so we notice these things). You will arrive at Paris Nord, the main line big international station with underground: buy a one or two day pass (same price for kids as adults, cost us about £80 for the 6 of us). Avoid rush hours as you would anywhere. As well as the famous sites, there is a big water park in Paris we plan to try next year as a little more suitable for our smaller boys. Just one thing - if you have a wheelchair, avoid the trains. We met friends whose 2 children need mobility help and frankly the underground system would be unpassable without at least 2 mobile people per wheelchair user. If you can't leave the chair at all, skip it frankly. You won't get by.
Disney is not far away and a huge draw to the site; reviews say you only need one day but I'd disagree, we did park one day and studios the other. Disney Dreams is LATE (11pm) but worth it, even for a Disney cynic like me. You can hire very large buggies for smaller kids who might get tired (our 5 year old was shattered and I wish we had hired one). I suggest cushions or blanket if you are watching the dreams show as you are very likely to end up sat on concrete for a while. Although you can't take a picnic on site there is a picnic area just outside, and in the Disney Village a MacDonalds with bi-lingual ordering machines. I also suggest a good independent Disney guide or 2, we fund out a lot about which eateries were affordable and hints such as customisable light sabres being available from the big Disney shop in the Village for £30. Of course it's Disney and the merchandising is in your face, we found agreeing to purchase one big item (said light sabre)on day two helped.
The queues were nothing like we had expected and we got around everything with time to spare, which was good as it was so hot we had to keep diving for shade. I recommend Crush's Coaster and Thunder Mountain for any child big enough / fun loving adult. Stitch's Live Show was bettter than we expected as well (funny) but I'd skip Armageddon and hubby was unimpressed with the Indiana Jones ride too. Buzz Lightyear lasers were fun also, and a good way to kick it off.
Close by is the Val d'Europe shopping centre which has all you need- as well as a Sealife (useful if it rains I guess), there's a food court, a wide range of standard priced shopping outlets but also a village area with the designer stuff (Jimmy Chooo, Diane Von Furstenberg, Burbery etc).
Most usefully however there is a HUGE and affordable Auchan hypermarket, start with the bargain priced area at the rear of the food court as it has nice ham, pate, pain au chocolat, etc. I didn't try the 2e wine but I did the 3e version and it was surprisingly nice!
Sneak a look at Marne de Vallee, which appears to have been rebuilt in the style a Disney designer THINKS is typically French- I found it a little creepy but mesmerising.
Also if you like history / medieval battles etc have a look at provins and get the dates for the re-enactments as it was stunning. The lady in the little ice cream shop in the main street was lovely with the boys as well (a challenge, 2 have ASD and one possibly).
The only single point I have dropped in the review is 1 from child friendly because of the pool depth.
A week of utter bliss hampered only by a mosquito bite ;)
A very beautiful, well kept site. Wash blocks are pristine and cleaned very regularly. Never had to queue for facilities despite it being school summer holidays and quite busy.
On site there is a reasonably priced snack bar that also serves wine and beer and a Boulanger's van every morning for fresh bread and basic provisions.
Friendly, helpful staff on reception and snack bar, couldn't have been more helpful. Helped us in finding local shops and plan a train journey to Paris.
The site is very rural and peaceful, although you can drive to a supermarket in 10 minutes. Very convenient for Disney which is why we used it this time but we will be going back again for sure to enjoy the many other local attractions we didn't realise were there.
You don't even need to leave site - the playground was very popular with the kids and there is a lovely pool, but be aware the minimum depth is 1. 50 metres so for tinies and not so strong swimmers this may not be the best.
Fantastic - just had 2 amazing weeks at des quatre vents This was our first time abroad with our caravan and we were a little bit dubious - initially we were looking for a site somewhere close to DLRP / Paris etc. But what we found was a whole lot more ! Upon arrival we were greeted by beautiful flower gardens after booking in at reception we were told to follow a fluent English speaking lady on a push bike who asked if would like a fully sunny pitch or some shade we opted for shade as it was so hot and were taken to an enormous pitch with a big tree and told this is all yours it must have been 40ft + wide and the same again in length took us 15mins to decide where to put the caravan !
The site was clean tidy beautifully kept and all the staff spoke perfect English which put my scrappy French to shame - and they couldn't have been more helpful.
Toilets/showers dishwashing area laundry CDP etc were all spotless, shower temperature was perfect for me.
Outdoor pool was big enough to accommodate everyone and although no sun loungers plenty of benches to sit on. Small play park for little ones with slides swings roundabout.
Now we were very very lucky with the weather but even if had been wet there would still have been plenty to do DLRP and the Val D' europe shopping centre is about 20 mins away - it has a very reasonable hypermarket - Big Cat park About 7 miles away all in all the site although in a small rural area is very central.
Snack bar is exactly was it says quite reasonable and the beer is cold and again the staff were fantastic.
Our kids are 12 and 3 and they loved every minute and they were both very safe around the site - met some lovely people of all nationalities.
We arrived home today and the calendar is already on countdown for next year when we will definitely be returning.
Arrived after a very long, traffic-filled journey from Cherbourg to this gorgeous campsite. Received the friendliest of welcomes from lady at reception, who then lead us to the most enormous pitch! It was fabulous and bordered by hedging to give some privacy. Our tent (Outwell Vermont L) measures 8m x 4m and we could easily have pitched two of them lengthways and still have room for table, chairs, rotary line, trailer, bikes and car on the pitch! And ours was not unique - there were no small pitches that we could see.
This campsite is located out in a rural area with a bit of a drive to the nearest supermarket, etc but we just loved the stillness and quietness of this site. The snack bar was sufficient for the couple of evenings that we needed it (pizza, salads, burgers, chips, rotisserie chicken, beer, wine) again with friendly staff, and the bakery van had fresh baguettes, croissants, etc from 7. 30 - 11am every morning.
The toilet/shower blocks were kept spotless - yes, you have to remember that the toilet paper dispensers are inside the block door and not in each cubicle, but it's something you'll only forget once! I never once had to queue for a shower (site was barely half full when we were there) and the water was always hot.
The pool is basic, but fine - there aren't any sun loungers so we just brought up our own reclining camp chairs and they were perfect. The weather was quite warm when we were there so the fact that the pool was unheated wasn't an issue. There is a little playground, a covered area with table-tennis tables and an area for boules.
We stayed here for 9 nights and used the site as a base for visiting Disney (2 days) and Paris (2 days)- train station at Tournan about 12 minutes drive away. We also spent the only rainy day at the Val d'Europe centre which is huge!
On our down days, we were very happy to just relax at the pitch or by the pool to recharge after the busy days. We did bring our bikes but the roads in the area, although quiet, were narrow and not very bike friendly so we didn't get to use them except in the site.
The free wifi available in the vicinity of reception and the snack bar was pretty quick and well utilised, and easily handled our kids Skyping and Facetiming their friends for ages at night!
The friendly owners are very hands on and visible around the site, which is immaculately maintained. This isn't an 'all singing all dancing' site and our 2 eldest daughters (14 & 12) did find it a little quiet, but as a base to do what we wanted to do, it was perfect. I heartily recommend this site and am very grateful for all the previous reviews and recommendations on UKCS which led me to it!

We visited this site in September. The Satnav directed us through Crevcoeur en Brie which wasn't that narrow but the western approach would have been better, avoiding the village.
