  • Kid-friendly site in an old quarry at Saint-Leu-d’Esserent in Picardy
  • Parc Astérix half an hour’s drive and Disneyland Paris an hour
  • Leafy setting where firepits are welcome
If you’re looking for somewhere unusual to lay your head in Picardy, Camping Campix on the outskirts of historic Saint-Leu-d’Esserent (five minutes’ drive) is bound to intrigue… For this site has a leafy setting in a disused quarry, abandoned to nature in 1940 and now all but overgrown with trees, bushes and wild shrubs. The secluded grass pitches are all hidden away among the greenery for your privacy, and provide the vibe of wild camping (campfires are allowed), but with all the creature comforts of a modern site – namely, showers with constant hot water, toilets and a snack bar open in July and August. If you decide to do some local exploring, what’s even better is that this seemingly remote spot is in pole position for anyone wanting to spend a day at Parc Astérix (half an hour) and Disneyland Paris (an hour), or in romantic Paris itself (also about an hour).

Pitches, toilets & showers lauded as lovely, well-maintained, clean. Great for Paris trips via Creil train. Quiet & remote with reliable hot water. Pool closed for construction; one reviewer cited security issues. Some note a need for tidying & a secure gate.

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Although this campsite is laissez faire almost to the point of being haphazard (e.g. 'Park where you like'), it had everything we needed. Yes, the toilets amd showers would benefit from being cleaned more often and from hotter water, but there was always soap and toilet paper which many sites don't have. We booked it in order to visit Paris and it didn't disappoint on that front. Approx 8 euro Uber to Chantilly station and a 30 minute train to Paris Nord. Easy!

Clare S.

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The campsite is leafy and green with lots of different nooks to park up in. Although the site is large, it doesn’t feel that way and it is possible to find a fairly private spot. Your pitch is not assigned so you can choose what best suits you. We arrived much later than expected so really appreciated the late check in. The staff were very friendly and helpful offering advice on what to do in the area. Sanitary facilities are functional and clean. Very useful bread/ milk ordering service.

Disliked There is only one sanitary block which doesn’t seem enough for such a big site. We chose to pitch close to the block as would not have enjoyed the long walk from some of the other parts of the site.

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Superschöner Platz mit vielen naturbelassenen, verwinkelten, natürlich abgegrenzten Stellplätzen, total ruhig, ausreichend Sanitäranlagen mit durchgehend Warmwasser.
Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Service, gute Anbindung zu vielen interessanten Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung.

Disliked Leider wird das Schwimmbad gerade renoviert und kann nicht genutzt werden.
Die Anlagen sind nicht mehr die neuesten, aber funktionstüchtig und sehr sauber!

Local attractions

The site sits north of Paris (about an hour’s drive), so you can have a day to explore the City of Lights, board a bateau-mouche cruise down the River Seine, visit art masterpieces in The Louvre and dine in Montmartre bistros. Another bucket-list attraction about the same distance away is the Palace of Versailles, where you can tour opulent apartments and wander the formal water gardens. Another grand palace is open for tours at sublime Chantilly (15 minutes), which also has an equine museum and stellar art collection; close by is the exceptional Gothic architecture of soaring Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Senlis (25 minutes). If that all sounds a bit too much like culture, the kids will probably prefer day trips to the rollercoasters and water rides at Gaul-themed Parc Astérix (half an hour). For your full compliment of amusement parks, head for the parades, musical shows and simulator rides at Disneyland Paris (an hour). To make things easy for you, tickets for both world-renowned parks are available to buy at reception on site.
