We stayed at this site for 8 nights and found it an ideal base for Disney (15min drive) and were also really pleased with the size of our pitch and all the amenities at the camp. Plenty to do for the kids with a good sized playground, free table tennis bats and ball from reception for use on 4 tables and a good sized pool (even though a little cold). All the staff were really helpful and spoke good English, the bakers van in the mornings was excellent for croissants, bread, milk, jam, etc. Snack bar in the evenings was o.k. For pizzas and burgers, if slightly on the expensive side (but then that’s France for you). Also in the evenings beware of the wasps. You could also take a train from the nearby town of tournan into pairs on a 'mobalise' ticket which was 13 Euro each but that could be used for unlimited use on all trains, buses and the metro all day. Tournan was about a 10min drive away and was the closest place for a supermarket. All in all a very good campsite perfect for Disney, highly recommended and we would go back
We stayed here for 3 nights. The site is large and the pitches are very big, no one is pushed up against their neighbours. Reception was helpful and spoke english well, they do appear to be a 'Disney' site and were keen to tell us they sold tickets! We went to Parc Asterix which is about an hours drive.
Takeaway van was ok for basic replenishment and as others said, there is nothing else in the local vicinity to feed or water you. Nearest supermarket, petrol & train station is in Tournan en Brie - approx 10km away. Closes at 7.30pm.
Site is very clean & tidy but as others have said, the showers are really not user friendly. No temperature or height adjustment and you have to hold the button in the whole time! I didn't even try to get the kids in the showers to wash -unless you take them in with you. It's also very draughty and reminded me of my local swimming pool changing area. More regular cleaning would also be nice, although they weren't really dirty as such.
I would expect slightly more from a site which charges so much for a pitch
We stayed for ten nights here in order to do Disney and trips into Paris itself. The camp site is generally very good. The best thing we found was the enormous pitches, ours was more than twice the size we had just had at a more expensive Castels site in Normandy. The toilet and laundry facilities were usually ok, although it would have been good if the site had provided a floor squeegie to sweep the showers out before you used them, this made such a difference at the previous site. Yes, the 'collect your toilet roll at the door' system is a bit odd so we just bought our own to take in with us. Also no soap provided.
It was great to have access to your own water tap by your pitch. The worst thing about the site was the WASPS! I don't know where they all came from but there were loads of them which totally traumatised my two small children when we ate outside and just annoyed me to distraction. I enquired as to whether we were just in an unfortunate pitch but apparently it's a camp wide problem. We started leaving jam and juice traps in the hedges and caught tons of the little tikes! The site does also live up to it's windy name. The whoosh through the trees when there's a breeze is quite something.
The little bread stall in the morning was adequate and we ate at the snack bar twice. I thoroughly enjoyed my rotisserie chicken and chips - 8 Euros :) The only draw back with no site shop is remembering not to run out of milk like we did. Also if you have an ice block coolbox then there is no where to refreeze. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The site was not overly busy. We reckoned most people were only around for 3 or 4 days in order to do Disney etc.
Things to do - well we filled the best part of 10 days. Paris, Disney, Fontainebleau (big chateau/gardens), Vaux-le-Vicomte (even bigger chateau and gardens - you can hire a golf buggy there to drive yourself round the grounds!), Coulommiers (little town but good market on a Saturday and lovely gardens), Provins (medieval town with renactments etc), Val d'Europe (shopping mall and expensive outlet village). Supermarket in La Houssaye about 15 mins drive away. Train station to Paris also there but really hard to find.
All in all it was a good site and would probably stay there again unless I got a better recommendation.
Easy to find if you get on to the D231 and tke the sign to Crevecoeur En Brie follow this road into the village do not turn off this road unless the signs says so and you will go straight to it.
English spoken, three toilet blocks, fresh bread from 7.30am till 11am snack bar open from 4pm till 11pm serving Pizza, spit roasted chicken, burgers, chips and crepes a draught beer and wine also sold.
Huge pitches, on some of the pitches they are so big a longer lead may ne needed our pitch was in an area that they classed as four pitches, some commercial sites we have been on it would have been eight pitches. Should you be meeting others at this site the owners seem to arrange adjoining pitches, mind you some of the pitches are that big that you could get two outfits on the same pitch.
A busy site but as there is so much space around you we did not get disturbed by people leaving early you just woke up in the morning and your neighbour had gone.
Toilet blocks were clean but did seem to attract the teenagers of an evening on the furthest blocks away from the reception area, why I don't know. But If we ever go back to this aera I would definitely return to this site. Ideal for Disney Land and Paris.
We visited Paris, Drove to Chatuex de Vincennes about a 40 minute drive parked around the castle all day for free and caught the Metro into the centre of Paris this cost us under 10 euros for three adult return tickets
Just come home after a 10 night stay. The campsite was perfect. We had a hugh pitch surrounded by hedges which made it very private and secure for the children. The pool was extremely clean and well looked after. The shower/toilet blocks were very clean at all times. The site staff were very friendly and helpful. Disney was only a 15-20 minute drive away which was brilliant! The nearest train station is only 10-15 minutes away if you want to take a trip into Paris. We will definitely be returning next year! Thanks for a great stay!
We stayed for 9 nights in July 2008 and found the site to be busy but not constantly full as we had expected. We we sited on a huge pitch near the pool and adjacent to the showers- this appears to be what the site management think is 'the best pitch' so if you don't want a lot of noise do say, they will accommodate you elsewhere (although they seem a little surprised by this!)
Each pitch has a shared tap and most are hedged off from the adjacent one on at least one side, the whole site is completely flag and there is adequate waste faci8lities, including recycling.
We were a bit worried by the location of our pitch but generally it was fine, it is not a noisy or seemingly busy site, even in high season, probably due to the large pitches and the pool are is nice there is little in they way of organised entertainment or late events, the snack bar closes at 11 and security open and close the gate for people coming back from Disney after the fireworks to minimise disruption.
The snack bar was nice, if a little expensive but given there are no other facilities or amenities in the surrounds its a buyers market. I think all the families there were using it as a base for Disney since its around 15 mins drive along fast, straight roads.It was also nice to get up and send one of the kids for bread and croissants ( again, not the cheapest- but definitely the most convenient) in the mornings
The downside for me would have to be the showers. In our block the shower heads had been removed, the outlet then resembling a pipe running out of the wall which was angled in such a way you had to stand with your body pressed against the shower cubicle in order to get any water at all on your body. The button had to be constantly held in to get water too, not the easiest I expect better for £40 Euros a night Im afraid. The showers could also have done with more cleaning. Once a day wasn't sufficient for the showers/loos nearest the pool area which also had a strange arrangement for loo roll, you had to get it on your way into the loos, none in the loo cubicles at all
Overall it was a nice site, difficult to find and barely signposted however so make sure you get sat nav or an accurate route planner, they really need to add to the signposting! we almost gave up and drove to Jablines! but we would stay there again if visiting Disney, the site is nice, the staff are helpful and facilities generally are good the pitches great- a few downsides but not enough to prevent us staying again.
Can confirm all that has been said about this site, while it is a very pleasant site the real niggly things are, 1, lack of a safe area in the pool for children, 2, Mega annoying showers which only run for 3 seconds before switching off, 3, no stoppers in the wash up sinks, and my own particular pet hate, the overbearing preoccupation of the French permanent caravanners with privacy!
Perfect retreat from the Disney Parks but only 20 minutes away .
We only used the mobile takeaway van once during our week stay and food was good (ice cold beer better) and the baker was there every morning with fresh croisoints and bread .
The nearest supermrket was approx 4-5km away (depends what way the satnav took you )
During our stay there was a loud concert when we arrived back from disney late after the fireworks as per Caz64's review but didn't stop us falling asleep but I cant blame the site owners as this wasn't advertised in any of the local shops etc we visited .
All in all very friendly staff and a nice site which was ideal for kids with playpark and swimming pool .We will be back when we are in France again .
It is a lovely site, the facilities are great and the pitches are great - spacious and huge compared to normal (we could have got our large 5 berth frame tent on the pitch 5 or 6 times easily!) BUT check when you book that there is nothing on at the property next to the campsite otherwise you could find yourselves kept awake until nearly 4am as we were by thumping loud music! not funny when you are tired after a drive from the south of France, and you have a poorly child!
The staff are nice but had the typical French attitude 'it wuz not on zee site madam it was outside, zis campsite is lovely and peaceful!
It might have been outside, but was just the other side of their fence and was definitely not peaceful but was absolutely hell for hours until finally they packed up after 3.30am.
Needless to say our planned 3 night stay and trip to Disneyland was cancelled as none of us were up to it, and we came home after one night.
I think the site owners must have been aware of any planned event next to them (though this was denied!) and we should have been advised by them when we booked several weeks ago or on checking in! how they thought it was acceptable to put their guests through that is beyond me - and have them pay for the 'pleasure' of it!
A peaceful haven away from Disney. Mickey and the gang were 20 minutes away. At the end of the day it was lovely to escape Disney and sit and watch the sun go down at this excellent campsite. The site was quite and rural. The toilet block and showers were excellent, if your missus is as fussy as mine, this is the place to go.
The pool was excellent, although a little cold, my kids loved it. Lovely pitches, plenty of space, lovely and flat.
Reception was excellent, very helpful staff. Would I go again, definitely.
Nice site, pitches were surrounded by hedges ours also had a tree which was lovely apart from keep losing the badminton shuttle in there. Pitch itself was massive big enough for a car, 6 man tent, an area for sitting & a badminton court. The snack wagon was ok, not the best I've ever had or worse, but it was nice people sitting about the benches of an evening, the morning bakery stall was lovely. The site itself was quiet with easy access to the motorways, Paris, Disney & the shopping centre.
There was several areas which I wasn't impressed with on the site, the playground was full of teenagers which made it hard for smaller kids to play (I went with a 5 year old), the location of the playground, swimming pool was in an ideal spot as no-one had to camp next to it & put up with noisy kids.
The biggest thing we disliked on the site was the swimming pool, the 5 year old I went with was so excited about having a pool on the site, but couldn't use it as it was so deep approx 1.5m & unheated so freezing cold. It was also not an area where you could stay for a bit if the weather was nice, as you had to leave towels outside of the pool area.
Stayed for 4 nights purely as a base to visit Disneyland. The site was exactly what we wanted - quiet, scrupulously clean and with enormous pitches! As well as being huge, pitches were well separated so there was a good feeling of space and privacy. Toilet and shower blocks were exceptionally clean & we never had to wait. Baker in the morning was useful. We didn't use the takeaway van that was there each night but did have Moules and Frites when they had a special Irish (!?!) evening! This was excellent and went down well with a bottle of rose. Staff very helpful. Pool was quite cold and took your breath away on getting in even though the outside temp was 32 degrees! Overall a great site - would definitely highly recommend and return (if I ever had the desire to go to Disneyland again, which I can't imagine I will - once was enough!)
We have only just returned from this great site and had a fantastic time there. We would definitely return should we be in the area again. From the very first moment we arrived the staff/owners there could not be more friendly and helpful. We do speak french but their English is so good it really would not matter if you couldn't. The reception was able to provide lots of information for us regarding the local area and we also bought our Disney tickets from there which saved us alot of time upon arrival at disney. The site itself is quiet (both regarding the people on site and the area ie no road noise) and very nicely laid out. I think it used to be an orchard as everywhere you look there are apple of pear trees. The roads are tarmac and the pitches are huge. Each pitch is divided by hedges and as such it feels very private. The 3 shower blocks are well placed and yes as mentioned before they are basic but are extremely clean. There are no toilet seats but personally it was not a problem. Toilet paper is on a roll outside the cubicles but you soon get used to taking it in. Showers were hot and push button but this was not a problem. The fairly large round pool is lovely, again very clean and well kept. It is however unheated but once you are in it was fine. The takeaway facilities were good with Pizzas, roasted chickens, chips and the like for sale but we only used them for the odd pancake/waffle for a sweet treat. They also sold Wine by the bottle or glass. We didn't used the table tennis tables in the play area but you can hire the bats from reception and it seemed popular. The play park was lovely and looked new. My two children of 5 and 3 loved it. There is also a washing room with 2 top loaders and a tumble drier for which you need to purchase tokens from reception at which if I remember it was a a cost of 2.50euro for a wash and 3 euro for tumble. We visited near by Provins and Paris itself. The nearby town of Tournan (15 mins drive) is your main line link into Paris. You can catch the Metro from Magenta line to where you need to go. We bought a ticket called a Mobilise which entitles us to travel from tournan and back including all Tubes for the whole day for approx 12 euros. Very cheap for a trip out! Attak is your nearest Supermarket in Tournan and there are others a little further afield. All in all we had a lovely time and as it was our first time camping abroad it was a good experience. I would highly recommend it.
Stayed for one week at the end of August for the main reason that the site is close to Disneyland Paris (approx. 20 minute easy drive). We thought the site was brilliant for a base to explore the area. Very easy to get to and far enough out of the way to be a peaceful retreat after a busy day at Disney!
Large pitches with water and electric. Plenty of good clean toilets and showers. Always clean and hot and I never had to wait. In fact, the whole site was kept really clean and tidy. Only niggles were that there was no soap at the sinks and the loo roll is outside the cubicles, but you get used to that!
Local baker visits betwenn 7.30am and 11.00am and a mobile trailer opens between 4.00pm and 11.00pm for fast food, hot chickens, beer, etc. There are tables, chairs and gazebos around the trailer, so you can sit out with other people if you wish. This is the only ‘entertainment’ on site at night, so very quiet.
There is also a large games area with table tennis and table football, a swimming pool, pentaque pitch and childrens playground which we used. Swimming pool is cold, but not too bad! You have to throw your towels over the hedge, as the only way to enter the pool area is to go through showers that automatically come on when you step through the entrance gate! A good site for children as it feels safe, with plenty of space and good for making friends. Site seemed mainly used by Brits, French, Spanish and Dutch.
We arrived at 6.00pm on a Sunday and was pleased to know that the local grocery store was open until 8.00pm. This is in Housaye en Brie, 1 km from the site (20 – 30 minute walk or 5 minutes in the car). It sold the basics and there is also a bakers and choclatier in this village. We had a pleasant walk in to the village one evening.
In Tournan en Brie (approx. 10km away) there is an ATAK supermarket, which is open until 7.00pm most evenings, but only until lunchtime on Sundays. This has everything you might need. Tournan is also the place we got the train in to Paris. We paid 30 Euros for the three of us. We got Mobilis tickets, which means we got a return train journey each and could also have unlimited use of the metro and buses whilst in Paris. The last train back from Paris was just after midnight. Journey takes approx. One hour in to Paris. We easily got to the Eifel Tower and went to the top! (30 Euros for all of us).
We also visited Val d’Europe, a massive shopping centre with outlet village and a Sea Life Centre. It has a huge supermarket that takes ages to find all your groceries! This is situated by Disneyland and is worth a look, particuarly if it’s a wet day. We took a trip in to Meaux one day, which was approx. 30km away. It has several nice restuarants and shops to look around and was good for something to do on an afternoon. We also visited Coloummiers for a supermarket (20km), which was situated on a retail/industrial park, so handy if you needed something for your car or from a DIY store?! Dare I say it, it also had a McDonalds!
Overall we thought this was an excellent site if you’re using it as a base and a place to chill like we did. I would definitely go back if I had a reason to be in the area. Also handy for a long weekend as it only takes just under three hours from Calais to get there.
This was our first time abroad with the caravan and the site was excellent. We had our 5 year old grand daughter with us so we chose it for its proximity to Disneyland it was an ideal base. We also travelled into Paris by train from Tournan which is about 10km away but with free parking it was brilliant and the trains ran on time. Information on all local attractions is available from the helpful staff on reception. On our arrival at the site we were greeted with a friendly smile and lots of Bonjour's from the staff, check in was smooth and we were shown to our large pitch with its own water and electric hook up. Our French neighbor's helped us to position the caravan and assisted us to set up. The site and facilities were great, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The toilet block was cleaned 3 times daily and once you got into the habit of remembering the loo roll on the way in all was fine. The site felt safe and secure as the gates were closed every time you entered or left the site. Our grand daughter thought the playground was excellent and played there for many an hour. The pool was on the cold side to say the least and was all the same depth no shallow end this needs to be watched. There are no shoes allowed around the pool and entry is via the showers so no sunbathing around the pool. We found the nearest supermarket was at Val De Europe but within easy reach of the site. We had a brilliant time despite a couple wet days and can recommend the site to everyone. We will be returning quite soon.
