Before anyone says it, yes, I've used the campsite search function but its much less detailed for sites in France and reviews are limited.
So, looking for personal reccomendations for sites near Disneyland paris for myself, Mrs DM and our two daughters (10 and 13). We'll be staying for 10 nights and visiting disney on 2 - 3 days so will need other things to do locally and/or on site. Definitely need a pool, ideally with slides or water park. We'd like to be close enough to use public transport to get to disney and the obligatory day trip into Paris

You might have used the search facility, but did you look for previous posts?
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Google is still your friend - and will show you a map of all the sites in the area. Camping International Jablines looks to be the nearest, but then you need to look at the others too to choose one which will keep you all occupied for the ten days you have planned. That's a long time to spend there.

We are staying at jablines next week. We picked that site because it has the best public transport access we are going to both Paris and Disney. There's no pool but the site is in a country park and there is access to the wider country park and a lakeside beach. I don't think we will be in the site much that week as we are likely to be out exploring we will probably just have 1 rest day on site.

We stayed in Jablines for five nights in 2012 when doing Disney with our then 8 and 6 year olds.
The site itself was very nice, well kept modern toilet block, children's play areas with the obligatory table tennis tables.
Although there was no shop, takeaway or pool in the gated site it was set within a larger county park that had cycle paths and an excellent man made beach and lake with lifeguards, pedalos, kiosks for snacks etc which was a bit if an unintended bonus for rest days. It was very popular with local day trippers.
Campsite was very handy for driving to Disney, 10 minutes maybe, if I remember we parked at the cinema, easy access and well priced.
5 nights was probably enough and I know that now that they're older our now teenagers would be looking for a pool etc...
Definitely Jablines. Good site there is a bus direct to Disneyland from just outside the site. About half an hour on the bus. We stayed there two yrs ago. You can even buy tickets from the site
So Jablines is a clear favourite then. Have to admit the site was already on our radar but we were looking for somewhere with a pool and ideally, water slides. Maybe that lake will have to suffice. 🤔

Why don't you 'do' Disney for a couple of days and then move on to a site with pool and slides? Perhaps somewhere like Lac D'Orient which has a lovely pool and slides, a lake, and plenty going on for children. It's a couple of hours south-east from Jablines/Disneyland.

We did the 4 or 5 nights in Jablines with 2 days in Disney and then on down to Chateau des Marais in the Loire for the pools, slides facilities etc. The area was a nice contrast to the 'manicness' of Disney as well! Montsabert is also a nice site we have stayed in in the Loire without quite the same facilities as Marais but we would happily return to either.
Jablines love update here. It's a lovely site in a beautiful country setting. The big winner is the location it's 8km to val d Europe which is Europe's largest shopping centre and here you connect into a train directly into Paris or DLP is I stop in the other direction (the shuttlebus doesn't run late enough from campsite to bring you back after the fireworks ). We haven't spent much time on site as out all day and coming back late at night but having a rest day today. The beach is very popular and also there is horseriding, climbing, cycling and lots of other activities. The campsite receptionist is very good and gave us brilliant information and maps for travelling she has made it very easy. Bring table tennis bats and ball for the campsite and own toilet paper as well as insect repellent for the evening as I have been bitten a few times. There are European plugs in the toilet block so bring an adapter of you want to use a hair dryer. have fun!
Ps. I have also been to chateau de marais and it's a brilliant site too!
