Camping Paris Est

Staff were helpful with explaining which buses and metro trains to get on with getting into and around Paris and surrounding areas. There was also a train strike during our stay which staff made us aware of.

Bus stop is right outside of the campsite and takes you directly to the train station which is around a 15 to 20 minutes journey. This is a direct line into Paris or Disneyland Paris. Staff at the train station were helpful and explained which trains/platforms to use. They also explained about the train strike and that we needed to make sure we got on a train before the last one at 6.30pm.

Toilet/shower areas are cleaned daily.

No soap, sinks or dryers in toilet area. Toilet seats cracked. Showers were hit and miss. Some had shower heads others had a pipe only coming out of the wall. Some of the showers temperature controls were stuck which resulted in a cold or too hot shower. With the showers with the controls that did work, it was a bit hit and miss with actually controlling the temperature of the water.

There was an odour of sewage in the shower area.

There was work going on when we stayed in December with updating and reorganising the park which meant static caravans were all over the place. Made the campsite feel a bit run down.

We had booked a grass pitch as there were no hard standing pitches available. When we arrived, staff initially had us down as staying for 2 days even though I had given them our booking confirmation which showed 6 days. They said it was the computer system that was showing the wrong dates! After being given the key to our pitch (there was no mention of this when booking that you have to give credit card details to secure the key and if you lose it, you will be charged 20 euros) we went to look for our pitch. There were static caravans blocking the way in and as we have a large caravan (8ft wide by 27ft long), there was no way we were getting our tourer past these or onto the pitch as the gap was too small. We went back to reception to explain this and they said it was because the static caravans were in storage which is why they were in the grass pitch area. After a while, our pitch was changed to a hard standing one at no extra charge. This was a better pitch but it was still a shunt to get our caravan onto the pitch. Some roadways are wider than others and the hard standing camping pitches are amongst the static caravans.

As there is a main road that passes by the campsite, road traffic noise is constant day and night.

There is a speed limit on the site which we adhered to, pity others don't as we were flashed to get out of the way and were also attempted to be overtaken on the site.

The campsite was not the easiest to get to if taking your tourer. Getting to it by vehicle only was a lot easier.

Good showers

The site is covered in old lodges that have been taken out and are sitting around in motorhome pitches. The staff are very friendly and was by no means their fault but it took three tries in the dark to find a pitch that didn't have an old lodge sitting on it. The site is also dominated by large numbers of tradesmen, lorries and vans who obviously use the site for its location which gives it a weird atmosphere

Location

Close to public transport

Sirens frequently on road next to campsite

Its a good site and our caravan was also nice and clean. The staff could be more helpful though. Their website says there is a direct bus link from the site to the city however bus only takes you to train station. Wifi is paid - 10 min free only
