Spent 4 days here for the sole purpose of visiting disney. Beautiful site with large pitches. Toilets and showers basic but nice and clean.
Outdoor swimming pool was nice but not much good for small children as there was no shallow end.
The only thing that spoilt our stay (other than disney -not for us) was the lack of shops. They sold bread and butter on the site in the morning but only uht milk. There were no shops as such in the nearest village and supermarkets always seemed to be shut when we visited.
All that said if I had been more prepared I would take more supplies and find out opening times of supermarkets.

We stayed on this site at the end of July, beginning August. We reiterate what everyone has recently said. It has large pitches and a lovely swimming pool - which is just what you need after a day at Disney.
We had the same problems with the showers - very difficult to hold the button and keep a wriggling 2 year old under the water. Also kept forgetting to get the toilet paper BEFORE going into the toilet cubicle.
The bread stall in the mornings was brilliant and very tasty bread.
We had a very unfortunate pitch right next to the toilet block - which meant we had noise until about 11 o'clock at night. Why do people want to throw away bottles into bottle banks with a loud crash at 11:30 at night.
Very handy for Disney.
Tournan-en-Brie not very far away for local supermarket.
Would stay again - but just for the minimum amount of time to go to Disney. Wouldn't stay here if we wanted to stay longer and explore the local surroundings - not enough on site to do and no shop.

Just returned from this site and overall it was very good as everyone says its great for Disney. We booked for 12 nights and have to admit it was probably 9 nights too long! It is very much a 'stop' over site. We had a great time at Disney but wanted a little something to do on the site, swimming was to be the answer however the pool was breathtakingly cold. With children of 6 and 8 it was impossible to use the pool which was a great shame as it was lovely and clean. The toilet facilities hmm how shall we say not great but had worse! They were swept out each day but never cleaned and there were things on the toilet doors that definitely should not have been there! The 'chip van' was ok for when you first got there and needed something ready but at 5 Euro for a beer it was rather expensive. The croissants and baguettes were fab each morning. No fresh milk on site or in the village you have to drive to a supermarket nearest one 20 mins or so away. Also don't dare 'trip' your electric as they get rather annoyed! Otherwise have fun.

We have Just spent 7 nights at this campsite while exploring Disney.
The pitches are huge and could have easily accommodated another large tent as well as our outwell. It is very busy but still seems to remain peaceful. The two young girls that run reception are very friendly and even offered me a job there:-). Maybe one day when I have no cares in the world.
I would have to make a few changes though!. The showers are an absolute pain. You have to stand against the button to keep a flow of water and there isn't enough of them in busy periods.
Don't forget to get you toilet paper before entering a cubicle.I guess they are saving money by these two practices.
There are also birds living in the blocks that leave faeces on the floor all day until the blocks are cleaned in the morning.
They have a baker that visits in the morning 7.30-11am with fresh bread, croissants milk,jam,cheese etc. A little overpriced but efficient and convenient. The closest supermarket I found was intermarche. It is 5 miles away and I used SAT NAV poi's to find it. It is shut on Sundays and Mondays. I found it really cheap compared to Normandy supermarket prices and it had plenty to offer. There is a mini market 1 mile away in la Tusseney. Left out of campsite and fist left again into the village.
The shop is on the right before the post office. It is open until eight but is overpriced but convenient if you forget something.
There is a snack bar that serves food and beers at night. Food is reasonable but beer is 5 euros a pint which seems the norm across France.Don't buy ciggies from there, they are eight euro's a pack. Ouch. Get them off the ferry beforehand. You can only buy them from a tabac in France which can be hard to find sometimes.
You can stand in a queue for half an hour though. They need a queue for food and one for beer but they haven't grasped that yet. Nobody seems to want to make money in France,lol. They will let you queue and shut up shops for ages. Sometimes the whole month of august.
The site has a good little pool and games area/playground.
Wasps are a menace on the site so take repellent and swatters!
The site is ideally placed for touring Disney if you don't want to stay at the hotels there. It is only a 12 mile drive on quiet straight roads. A little tip is to park on the Disney village car park and not the theme park car parks. It is cheaper and quieter. It is signposted.
There IS a freeze service for 1 Euro a bag full. Ask at reception.
I would use the site again if in the area. It just needs fine tuning and could be perfect!

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.
