The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Sprawling wooded campsite in an old quarry near Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, 30 min from Paris by train. Large free-choice pitches, very natural setting. Motorhome access is tricky (narrow paths, overhanging branches). Basic sanitary facilities, pool frequently closed or overcrowded. Friendly owner. Variable atmosphere: peaceful on weekdays, noisy weekends. High rates (€40-46). Good for nature lovers and quiet stays.
Highlights
- Spacious pitches in the wild with free selection
- Owner is friendly and welcoming
- Very quiet forest setting in low season
- Easy access to Paris by train from Chantilly
Good to know
- Difficult motorhome access: narrow paths and scraping branches
- Very dated facilities with irregular cleaning
- Pool often closed or overcrowded (marketing letdown)
- Noisy on weekends, cars passing at night, lack of discipline
Motorhome access : Difficult access. Narrow, poorly maintained paths with scraping branches. GPS may mislead (take Avenue Guy Moquet then follow signs). Difficult maneuvering, not recommended for large vehicles. Waste disposal area hard to access.
