 We chose this site simply because of its location. We came up from the south and it was fairly easy to find, with the help of Google maps, although the last bit is through some fairly narrow residential streets.
We were allocated a pitch, which was probably one of the larger ones and managed to get the caravan on with the help of the motor mover and brute force. The pitch was certainly not level and there were a number of tree roots.
It was dry and dusty, but we are quite used to this on French sites. As we also wanted to pitch a small tent, it needed careful planning. Many of the pitches were much smaller and really only suitable for camper vans or tents. Most pitches seemed to have a picnic table.
The site has 3 wash blocks, the top one being amongst the many cabins on the site. We were between the remaining two and used both. Very clean and the loos have both seats and paper, but there are only 3 to each block, so could be pushed in high season. Showers are adjustable, but push button and the ones I used had the tiniest shelf I have ever seen, plus only 1 hook.
Water, grey waste and chemical disposal were all at the motorhome point, which meant dragging heavy items some distance up slopes.
Reception sells a few basic goods and also bread, although after day 1, when my husband was hugely over charged due to staff confusion, we went to the boulangerie in the village which was much nicer.
There is a restaurant and bar, which closed at 8pm. The restaurant only seemed to do pizza and burgers. The only time we went to the bar, 3 staff were confusing each other trying to provide our drinks.
The swimming pool, next to the bar, seemed popular and has a sliding cover for cooler weather. A corner of the restaurant has seating with games, books and sporting equipment for use.
The laundry is very small, with 2 washing machines and 1 dryer. When I went to use it, one of the machines contained floor mops and other cleaning materials, so, obviously, the staff have to make use of this facility too.
We found getting to both Versailles and Paris easy and inexpensive. For Versailles, the bus line 2 from the cross roads goes to the Prefecture, which is outside the Chateau gates. The station is slightly further on and trains go to Champ du Mars/Eiffel Tower station.
On our second night a group of youngish adults arrived, occupying a number of cabins. They were outside chatting until gone midnight.
The site would certainly benefit from more water points, but it was clearly largely set up for, and used by, motorhomes, so this probably wasn't an issue. The site was busy, with most people only stopping a couple of nights.
We felt that this site was poorly run, with a team of what seemed to be very young inexperienced staff and also very expensive. That's obviously due to the location. It's unlikely that we would stop there again.

We in all honesty would probably not use this site again. First of all on booking online I requested a pitch near the facilities as I am disabled, sorry to say this fell on deaf ears luckily I had printed all the correspondence between the site and myself, when madam said disabled pitches had to be pre-booked which is what I could prove with the printed email.
After a a discussion I was given a pitch near the facilities, only problem they were closed, and the facilities that we had to use was down a steep uneven road, thus a steep climb on the return journey.
Most pitches are devoid of grass and fitted in were possible, I suppose that it serves it's purpose to visit the palace but that is about all.

Read all of the reviews before booking and wondered what we would find for our €40 a night. Tight roads to gain access but ok, pulled through the gates and on the barrier read, please park in the car park to check in, so had to reverse out and park. Given a pitch number but advised we could pick any comfort plus that was empty and I am glad they did. Our unit is 6. 35 mts long but some pitches we would struggle to get on and level as we do not have a motor mover. If you are used to neat cut grass and immaculate pitches this is not the site for you, it is in a forest and only the roads are tarmac. We had 24hrs of heavy rain with water everywhere but it soon dried up so was not a problem.
Negatives over, I loved the site in its very natural state, the showers were always spotless all the time and I just do not know how they managed it, the water was hot, in fact I had to turn it down every time plus showers that stay on, no pushing buttons every 10 seconds. Swimming pool looked ok but probably small at peak time and only had coffee in the cafe but this site is all about Paris and Versailles and the ease of getting to both places.
Our stay was in May and the site was only ever half full so that should be taken into consideration and don’t forget the A86 2mtr height restriction to the north of the site.

Just a short review, much has been said before.
The site is very convienient for Vesailles and Paris.
Some pitches could be difficult to get on without a motor mover and they do get muddy when it rains.
Only chemical toilet/waste water and fresh water point is the motor home service point which is at one of the lowest points of the site, so unless you fancy dragging water back up hill then you'll end up using the car to fill and empty your fresh and waste water.
The site is on the edge of town and approached through some narrowish residential streets, so care is needed.

We stayed for 3 nights, in a tent. Some reviews complain about cold water and queuing for showers but despite the site being almost completely full, the showers were HOT and I only ever saw one person queuing at a time, so not long to wait at all. You could regulate the temperature of the water by turning the on/off button, so either previous reviewers did not realise this or the facilities have been updated (I assume the latter). Our shower block was certainly new.
Positives:
- excellent access to Versailles and Paris
- nice pool area (with child-proof lock) and restaurant/cafe with WIFI
- staff at reception very helpful and spoke English well, lots of information on Paris/how to travel there etc. Available from reception
- shower block was always clean, there was always hot water, hardly any queues at all
- very woody, so nice and shady
- lots of families, relaxed atmosphere, quiet, no rowdiness/partying.
- 2 table tennis tables, bats and balls free to use
- table football (cost 50cents)
- playground
- pitches not too near each other due to terraced outlay
- barriers closed between 7am and 11pm, so no traffic at all during the night
- you can order baguettes/croissants from reception or choose from one of the two or three bakers within a 5-10min walk
-City carrefour supermarket within 10 mins or less on foot
Negatives:
- some pitches were smaller than others, some not very level; we saw quite a few motorhome/caravan owners struggling for a while to get their vehicle level
- a lot of cabling running along the ground as the electricity feeder blocks were quite far apart. Might be a bit hazardous in rainy weather
- It could get very muddy in heavy rain, I imagine
- no extra water points apart from in the shower blocks (not that I saw, anyway)
We had a very pleasant stay among many Dutch, British, French and German campers.

We had stayed here for a week in April a few years ago, and liked the site; spacious and well presented. We thus used it as a stop off last night on the way home. A completely different experience. We were given a pitch that was the size of the caravan pretty much exactly; we were able to fit in a pup tent for the kids outside the front door - but no space for a table to eat off!
I chose to spend a while walking around to see what had changed. It was clear that in peak times the campers are crammed in. For the caravans, at least 50% of them did not have enough space for an awning. OK for a night, not for a week. The pool was overrun, and whilst it is lovely to have children playing, did not make for a quiet meal at the restaurant.
I had an average and overpriced entrecôte, the kids had burgers which were actually quite nice.
Back to our pitch; since booking I had swapped 'vans to a Lunar Delta Ti - so a biggish beast - and I would never have fitted it in without a mover. Then again, I would never have got my old Swift Challenger in either.
All OK if the price had been reasonable, but over 80 Euros for a night! I found out today that the twin axle supplement would have been another €50 a night! €130 a night for a small patch of dirt.
Bathrooms and toilets OK. Chem toilet disposable flush hose doubled as Campervan water fill hose (yuk. )
So a terrible review from me, but I would go back off peak as it is an easy way to do Paris

We stayed here for 2 nights. First a warning. Approaching the site with a caravan is quite tricky. On the perifique shortly before the exit for the site on the A86 is a low tunnel that you can't go through. You therefore have to divert through tight town driving.
The site is very attractive. Lots of trees, nice cafe area near the pool. Good atmosphere with a real mix of nationalities. In a safe neighbourhood of Paris so you don't worry about your kids.
We had a very small, sloping pitch which was difficult to get on and off. V tight for a caravan. Water was a long way from pitch.
Loo blocks nice but more showers and loos were needed because its a busy site.
Playground nice and the pool was by an attractive cafe.
A good place to explore Paris from. Easy links to the centre.

I have read so many negative reviews I was dreading staying here ( husband had booked it) for three nights at the end of three weeks in France. We arrived in the pouring rain and as the site is very tight and pitch numbers difficult to find I got soaked running ahead to find our pitch the mud was incredible. We unlike others were able to drive onto a fairly level pitch when we saw how steep and small our neighbours pitches were I breathed a sigh of relief. Great location for train to Paris and visiting Versailles. Lots of shops nearby and bakery goods available in the mornings if you order the night before, we did and they weren't the best we'd had all holiday. This was the only campsite we stayed at where I had to queue for the showers and yes they were cold. Also beware motor home service area the fresh water filling hose was being used by people to clean their chem toilets, yuk!
On the whole the stay was better than I expected and I would stay here again for the location.

There is no doubt that the location of this site is the big selling point. It is in a pretty little town with a train station which makes getting around very easy. Now for the negatives. The pitches are atrocious, even with levelling ramps I spent the whole night sliding to the top of the bed, and the units are absolutely rammed in and far too 'intimate' for my liking. Thankfully it didn't rain otherwise the place would have been a giant bog. We stayed for four days and no matter what time of day I tried to have a shower the water was cold. And I mean cold! Pressing the water button was the showering equivalent of asking someone to punch me in the face every 20 seconds. The site is in desperate need of someone to love it. It is tired and run down and just basically milking it's location. At €40 a night it is by far the most expensive site I've stayed at and with less or substandard facilities. Also you are firmly locked in at night. There is a number you can call if you need to leave before 7am but I didn't like having to depend on somebody answering it when my return crossing was booked. It all depends what you're after of course. If its just location then it is perfect but if you want your cup of coffee to stay where you put it after 20 minutes of pointless ramp adjustments then l would look elsewhere.

Having read other reviews we were a bit concerned over what we would find, however our worries were unfounded. It is a good site 20 mins from Paris centre by RER. I'ts unusual in that it is in woodland. Yes it's expensive 40 Euro a night, but what do you expect that close to Paris? Standard pitches were small but adequate for medium sized campervan, no problem with hook up our 25m cable was more than long enough. Pitches were a bit close together but it is a very friendly site. Did not use pool or snack bar although did have a drink, again not over expensive for the area. Showers etc very clean and well maintained, had to wait a few minutes one morning for a shower otherwise no queues (even in August). Reception very helpful, Although no shop on site village is only a 5 minute walk away as is train and bus stops - 10 minute bus ride to Palace of Versailles.
PS as mentioned in other reviews A86 has 2m height limit so approach via A13.
