Caravan holiday parks near Disneyland Paris

Just to confuse British people, many French 'campsites' offer caravan accommodation and are equivalent to a UK holiday park such as Haven or Parkdean Resorts. 

A couple near to Disneyland Paris include: ​
There's also a lot of accommodation available onsite at Disneyland Paris (see our full guide) and more holiday parks.
La Crois du Vieux Pont Campsite swimming pool
La Croix du Vieux Pont Campsite is a large holiday park that is 75 minutes from Disneyland Paris
However, it's worth mentioning that it's often cheaper to stay at Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch. It's very similar to a holiday park and includes entry to the theme park. Once you add on the cost of buying tickets yourself, you'll probably conclude that it's better value to stay onsite. It's about 15 minutes' drive to the Disneyland Paris theme parks.
