Camping Paris-Est

Carefully consider booking here. We booked with Eurocamp. Location for Disney great, 25 mins. Getting to Paris great, 30 mins. Simple to navigate and travel day tickets can be bought from 24 hour reception. Mobile homes are very small and close together but are very clean. Surrounded by workmen who leave for work from 5.30 onwards making a lot of noise. In the evening many are sitting on their decking drinking and playing loud music. Would not let children walk around unaccompanied on site. A complaint was made to the reception, regarding late night party. They responded immediately. Apologies were made from the occupants. The next night was quiet. The following night was back to noisy but it was our last night so no point complaining then!

We have just returned from a week stay at Paris Est, which we booked through eurocamp. We came back early as we couldn't cope with staying there any longer, and we would have left earlier if we didn't have non refundable tickets for different attractions booked before going. Firstly - good points. It is really easy to get into paris, a 10 min bus ride to the station then a short train ride into the city. It was very easy to find our way around, you can pick up tickets and travel info from reception. Also very easy to get to disneyland. Unfortunately that is all the positives we can say. The lodges are tiny, cramped and so unloved. Our Mattresses were stained, bulbs didn't work etc. They lodges are absolutely packed in, there is barely any space between them so no privacy at all and the walls are so thin we could hear our neighbours coughing inside with the doors closed. Also most of the lodges are filled with tradespeople/workers and every night there were different groups of men smoking and drinking on the balconies making a lot of noise through the night. My son didn't want to play with his football outside because he was too intimidated. Not what we expected from a Eurocamp park, we expected basic facilities as this was meant to be a base to explore - but basic doesn't mean it has to be horrible! We would not come back even for the proximity to Paris as it was such an unpleasant experience, we thought we were just unlucky but reading some of the other reviews it seems this is not unusual. Also a heads up that they need a 150 euro deposit before they will give the key which we weren't told about before arriving - their machine didn't work to put a hold on our credit card and after a stressful half an hour calling the bank who told us the problem was with their machine, we then had to pay the 150 up front. Surprisingly our card worked fine to take the payment... and we now have to wait 15-20 days to hope we will get this money transferred back!

We were staying here with a camper. Camp location is great, bus stop to take you to center of Paris is right there. Public transport tickets can be bought at the reception. Camping spots are neat and big enough. Toilets are really weird, as there is no sink in the same room as the toilets. You have to go outside after using the toilet and into another room around the corner to wash your hands, using two different door handles in the process (with dirty hands), which is not very hygienic to me. There is also no soap in the washing up room, so you have to bring your own to wash the hands or be satisfied with only water. When pushing the button for water, it is not nearly enough to wash the hands, so you have to push multiple times. No dryer or paper towels to dry hands either. Some of the showers were closed, while half of the open ones only had cold water and the ones that had warm water were dirty, small and full of hair. All in all, it’s an ok place to stay for a few days to visit Paris (we were only there in late afternoons and evenings), but I would not stay longer.

we had a nice stay. for us it was close enough to the centre of Paris and far away enough to be comfortable in a quiet place. We were there for just a few days, I think it would be to small for a longer stay.
