Over May half term our family spent a week at Camping La Croix Du Vieux Pont, staying in a Eurocamp Azure mobile home. Camping La Croix Du Vieux Pont is situated 1 hour from Disneyland Paris, 1.5 hours from Paris city centre, and an easy 2.5 hour drive from Calais.

I had this misconception that I’d be arriving at a French version of Butlins, and in some respects, it could be a little like that at times. However I, and my family, still really enjoyed it and it didn’t really bother us that much. Would you like to combine a trip to Disneyland Paris with a luxury camping holiday with the whole family? If so, take a look at camping La Croix du Vieux Pont. This camping is located close to Paris, on the Aisne river with a fantastic pool complex with long slides, a swimming lagoon and mobile homes on grassy pitches. There's plenty to do for young and old alike, and a trip to the city of Paris or Disneyland Paris is the icing on the cake. The amusement park is just over an hour away from this camping. Relax in our deluxe mobile homes after a day at the amusement park, city or on the camping itself. Swimming for all ages The tennis court is in really good condition and is on the other side of the road. You get to it by heading up past the kids club tents and walking though the underpass. If you don’t have your own car, or you simply don’t fancy driving yourself, Eurocamp put on coaches to Paris and Disneyland Paris, leaving at 8am and returning around 9pm. There were also loads of outdoor activities at Camping La Croix Du Vieux Pont – archery, a climbing wall, pedalos, trampolines, go karts, mini golf, and a bouncy castle. (You do have to pay extra for these, though).I used to stay in Eurocamp mobile homes when I was a child, but it’s been a good few years since then, so I was keen to see if my childhood memories still held up today – would a Eurocamp holiday seem as good as I remember? Would a mobile home feel spacious enough for our family of five? Personally we didn’t think the zip wire was very well organised and our group of kids waited for nearly two hours in the heat which could have been avoided with better organisation/splitting the sessions. We spent a lovely sunny afternoon there during our stay at La Croix Du Vieux Pont. We parked in the village and wandered up to the Château, where we spent a good couple of hours.

There is a big retractable glass roof over the three ‘indoor’ pools, meaning that they stay warm and dry in rainy weather, and on hot days, the roof slides open and it’s like you are swimming outside. Another fantastic feature of La Croix Du Vieux Pont was the outdoor lake. This man-made swimming area is surrounded by soft sand, and beyond that, large stretches of grass. On a sunny day, it makes a great place to base yourself as it’s perfect for paddling, sandcastle building, and picnics on the lawn.
