So, after our first family camping trip last year:

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=4&TopicID=257257

We have decided next year we will be going to France for a fortnight and goto Eurodisney while we are there.

All rather exciting.

Any tips for a noob camper abroad?

Also, is it cheaper to get park tickets in advance or when you are there from the camp site for example?

Thank you.

Loo roll is not usually supplied in toilets! Make sure you have your own supply.
The ground is likely to be harder than what you're used to.
Ants, flies, storms, sun . . .have fun!

There's loads of info on the 'camping abroad' section which will answer all your questions.

A good choice if I may say so!

You'll love it! There's a FAQ on the camping abroad forum.
Bigger sites tend to have loo roll, by the way and you candrink the water!

Ratty will no doubt move this thread across shortly anyway.

We are just back from les etangs fleuris, 25 mins from disney easy drive. Parking at disney15euros, nightmare to get out of car park after fireworks, really disorganised.

Brought 1 day hopper from attractiontix and used tesco vouchers for others.

Campsite had loo roll outside of loos didn't supply soap!

Swimming pool didn't allow bermuda shorts as swimwear.

Had great time although rained 2.5 days out of 5....

plenty of hypermarkets within 30 mins

Camping in France is a dream. But you usually always need to bring loo roll and often soap. Once you get used to doing that then all should be well!

Quite agree. Unless you are going far down south the weather is about the same as ours. Son and D.I.L are off to the Cherbourg peninsula soon. Good luck to them.
