Around a 90-minute drive from central Paris and Disneyland Paris, Eurocamp La Croix du Vieux Pont is one of the best Eurocamp sites according to Mumsnet users and is ideal for families who want to stay just outside the main drag but close enough for day trips.
It’s particularly well suited to young kids (and adults!) who like to keep activities varied - think splash parks, water slides, boats, trampolines, playgrounds and soft play areas - without having to venture far from basecamp.
We even managed a ‘beach day’ at the on-site man-made swimming lagoon, which features sand to play in and rockpool-style fountains that our children waddled around like they would at the seaside.
I could very much imagine bringing my multi-generation family here too, with grandparents, babies and teens to boot, as there were other activities like fishing, cycling, land zorbing and archery we didn’t manage to take advantage of on this trip. The bars looked pretty lively (we dragged ourselves away before our toddlers’ out-of-routine evening meltdowns kicked in).
The accommodation options appeal to the masses with cabins to suit all budgets as well as chalets and lodges, and even some apartments for those who prefer a little more brick to their walls. There are also pre-erected safari and lodge tents overlooking the beautiful lake.
One of our highlights was the oh-so-French on-site bakery and we loved how everyone cycled there to add baguettes to their baskets every morning.
All in all, it’s a fantastic option for families of all ages, with plenty to do and a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that you might not expect at a holiday park, largely thanks to its tranquil lakeside setting.
