Camping and caravanning at disneyland paris

Guest · 3 Jun 10, 12:55 PM

I first started researching into Camping and Caravanning at DLP when I realised that my eldest son starts school next September and this year would be the last of the cheap off-peak holidays that we have enjoyed for the past two years. Used to paying �25 a night for my accommodation at DLP I was shocked that the same accommodation was �98 during July and August. What I have found is a cheap(er) way of visiting the parks for those who don�t mind camping. A few sites also have mobile homes very similar to the Davy Crockett Ranch however these can be expensive but I�ll cover them here too.

First things first�when staying off-site you obviously need to arrange your own park tickets, my suggestion would be to buy an Annual Pass. For roughly the same price as a 3-4 day park hopper you can purchase a Fantasy Annual Pass, the best thing it does it to give you access to the car park at DLP for free, this is a saving of �12 per day. For more information on annual passes please visit here

There are 6 Campsites within a 30 minute drive of DLP

Camping Paris Est: Located 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris, this would be my least favorate choice. This campsite has the most difficult charging system to understand. Prices here range from �25 per night for a tent, two people, car and electricity up to �33 during the summer however you are litteraly charged separately for everything. Obviously for some this is better, but to me it seems like they should have two or three rates instead for ease of understanding.

Camping Du Bois De Boulogne: Owned by the same company as Camping Paris Est, they have the same complex charging system.

L Ille Demoiselle: This campsite is located 10 minutes from Disneyland Paris, 30 minutes from Paris and 35 minutes from Parc Asterix and is open from April until October every year. This campsite literally charges you separately for everything. Here is a breakdown of how to work out your price:
Pitch: �4
Water: �2.50
Adult: �3
Children: �2
Animals: �1.50
Car: �2.50
Tent Supplement: �1.50
Electricity (6amp): �4
Electricity (4amp): �2.50

So the total for 2 adults and 2 children in a tent with 6 amp electricity, water and taking their own car would be �24.50 per night all year round.

Camping Le Chene Gris: A superb site, by far the best that I have visited. Approximately a 20 minute drive from the Disneyland Park there is both a toll road and a toll free road which both take roughly the same time. This site allows tent�s, motor homes and caravans. They also have two different styles of static tents for those who don�t have or don�t wish to take their own as well as three different styles of mobile home. This site also offers deals such as 7 nights for the price of 5 and even 14 nights for the price of 7, although these offers are always outside of peak times. Le Chene Gris is owned and operated by Vancansoleil, please do not book your trip direct with them though as they charge a premium for booking with them which can be in excess of �100 over booking on Le Chene Gris� own website, The site is expensive when compared to the others during the summer months but off-peak here is a real bargain.
Off peak here you will be looking at between �20 and �31 per night for the Luxury Tent rising to �72 at the height of summer. Mobile homes start from �39 per night rising to �107 during the summer. The website currently does not have pitch prices although you are able to put your dates in and it will give you a total price.

Caravanning des 4 Vents: A campsite that I personally haven�t visited however it looks very nice, they have a simple year round price structure here which is �27 per night for 2 adults and a tent or caravan, each additional person is charged at �6 each and children under 5 are free. You can also take animals with you for a �3 per night surcharge.

Camping Les Etangs Fleuris: A great little family run site located 25 minutes from Disneyland Paris. Their Camping tariff is �9.50 per adult per night inclusive of electricity, �4 per child under 10 per night inclusive of electricity. Adult price is �1 cheaper without electricity. This makes a family of 2 adults and 2 children �27 per night and the great news is that this is the tariff from 04/04/2010 to 15/09/2010; there are no extra charges for peak times. This campsite also offers mobile homes for rent, these range from �590 to �640 in July and August but can be had for as little as �390 per week in off-peak times.

I hope this has been of some use to someone out there. Any questions, please drop me a PM and I�ll try to help where I can.

Happy camping,

Jonathan
