Le Cattiaux Camping

A aimé We booked and paid for our stay at Le Cattiaux Camping before reading the reviews. After reading previous reviews, we had mixed feelings about our stay at Le Cattiaux Camping. However upon arrival at Le Cattiaux Camping, any worries we may have had quickly faded away. Upon arrival we parked our car on the left outside of the electric gate and walked down to the office, here we met Xavier. Xavier only speaks French but was always nice to us. He directed us into the office where we met Amandine. After using my French to indicate that we had a reservation and who we were, Amandine replied in English. Amandine speaks very good English but I would try to talk in French when I could. Xavier showed us to the spot where we would be staying. To our delight and in contrast to some of our worries with regards to previous reviews, we were delighted to be given our own private riverside pitch with our own electric supply and a charming little apple tree. The facilities are good, the toilets, sinks and showers were all clean and well presented. There are washing and drying facilities on site. It is €5 for the washer and €5 for the dryer. They are token operated and you get the tokens from Amandine at the office. We also got a washing pod with the €5 token for the washer. It is a pleasant 15min walk from the site, over the river and over the train tracks into the local village of Boutigny-sur-essonne. The village has a lovely little bakery, a pharmacy, a florists, a train station, a restaurant and a bar/tabac. Although we never saw the bar/tabac open. There is a market on the carpark of the train station on a Saturday morning where you can buy veg, meat, bread and cheese. It is very easy to get the train from Boutigny into the centre of Paris and takes about an hour. During our stay at Le Cattiaux Camping there were several friendly cats on site, who our daughters loved befriending and giving plenty of loves to. From our riverside pitch we saw water voles, kingfishers and what we think were some kind of possibly wild goats or sheep. So, we would describe it as a good location for wildlife. Whilst on site, both Amandine and Xavier were both nice and pleasant with us. Whilst at Le Cattiaux Camping, the site was always quiet and peaceful. Given our riverside pitch, we would stay here again.

N'a pas aimé These are not dislikes as such as we fully enjoyed our stay at Le Cattiaux Camping.

Please remember to bring your own toilet paper and hand-wash with you for the toilets and sinks as these are not provided on site.


If I'm being overly picky. The grass on our pitch would have benefited from a mow and the edges strimmed before we pitched on it. The gravel area on our pitch for parking the car would benefit from a little weed control.

We picked Le Cattiaux Camping due to its locality to Paris. We stayed for 3 nights in our large family tent with our 2 teenage daughters. Any longer that our 3 nights and our daughters would probably have started to get a little bored on site.

A aimé Vriendelijke ontvangst. Rustige camping en genoeg ruimte om je tent op te zetten op het veldje. Prima voor een nachtje als je onderweg bent. Er is verder niet veel te doen.

A aimé Nothing

N'a pas aimé The man in charge is extremely unpleasant, aggressive and rude. Having given us the code to the big security gate, he failed to mention that it would be non functional after 10 pm so we were unable to re enter the camp site . He appeared to find this amusing and was happy to abandon 4 women alone in the dark. It was a very disturbing experience and I could not recommend this site to anyone.
