Hi,

As part of our August 2015 camping trip to France we are planning to stay a few days at Camping Campix (just north of Paris).

We have read varying views but are, on balance, attracted by the quirky/'real camping' descriptions.

We will be 11 in total - 5 adults, 6 kids (ages 7-14) - in 2 big tents and 1 pup tent.

Can anyone who has been recommend a good area? To this end I am attaching a link to a map of the site - so that reference can be made to areas A thro' N.

Camping Campix Map

We have read general things like ' very long walk to the shower block', 'too close to the pool' or 'too shady' - but would really appreciate some specific recommendations.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to reply.

Kind wishes

Clive

I'm sorry that your link doesn't work.  We've been (years ago) and had one of the woodland pitches in the old quarry but I'm sorry that I can't even recognise where we were from the site map!   However, here's a link to the site's own map which may help someone who's been there more recently!

The site starts to take Camping Cheques (www.campingcheque.co.uk) from the 25th August so if you're there on or after that date their standard price for pitch, two adults, car and caravan, or tent, or motorhome, awning and electricity would be 25 euros instead of 16 euros as the cost of a Camping Cheque.  The would mean a saving of nine euros per night!  You'd pay supplements for the children on top of this, whether you used a Camping Cheque or paid the site's normal tariff.

At today's rate it's more cost effective to order them from the French Camping Cheques website, and download them on to a (free) Alan Rogers Card.  I don't have time to publish the details on how to do this at the moment, but I'm sure someone will help.

Thanks Val A for the tips and patching up my map link muck-up.

Anyone else have pitch area tips from recent visits?

We have been a few times during August, last time about four or five years ago. I don't think they reserve pitches except for the school type groups and then they hold a specific area for that group.

The times that we have used it we just look round until we find a suitable pitch. Normally there is plenty of space so you would be fine to take this approach.

Hi...I've never been to this site so can't help you with your query but I want to thank you for bringing it to my attention!

We've been looking for a site for next year's holiday that was near to a train route to Paris for a day visit and this seems like an interesting option.
