  • Kid-friendly site in an old quarry at Saint-Leu-d’Esserent in Picardy
  • Parc Astérix half an hour’s drive and Disneyland Paris an hour
  • Leafy setting where firepits are welcome
If you’re looking for somewhere unusual to lay your head in Picardy, Camping Campix on the outskirts of historic Saint-Leu-d’Esserent (five minutes’ drive) is bound to intrigue… For this site has a leafy setting in a disused quarry, abandoned to nature in 1940 and now all but overgrown with trees, bushes and wild shrubs. The secluded grass pitches are all hidden away among the greenery for your privacy, and provide the vibe of wild camping (campfires are allowed), but with all the creature comforts of a modern site – namely, showers with constant hot water, toilets and a snack bar open in July and August. If you decide to do some local exploring, what’s even better is that this seemingly remote spot is in pole position for anyone wanting to spend a day at Parc Astérix (half an hour) and Disneyland Paris (an hour), or in romantic Paris itself (also about an hour).

What customers say

This unique campsite offers private, leafy spots with a calm vibe and good access to Paris via Chantilly. Guests loved the friendly, helpful staff and handy services like bread ordering. While some found the unassigned spots spacious, others noted issues with space and access for larger vehicles. Washrooms were generally seen as functional and clean, though some wished for more frequent cleaning and hotter water. The pool was widely reported as being under renovation.

From the manager: Booking through pitch up gives apparently a right to give an opinion on a site where you have not stayed nor visited and not even arrived to the reception !

Site was overall good , only one shower block

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The people staying there were nice

Disliked I had big hopes for this campsite as we were really looking forward to it as per pictures, got there and the first thing was the swimming pool was closed which is what the kids came for so had to go to the local lake which was about 30 euros for a family of four, renovating in the last week of August.
On our last few days we then found out they had a weekend rave which when on all through the night, owner didn’t tell us that this was going on or we would of pitched further away, overall we won’t be coming back sorry

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very helpful and friendly owner. Beautiful setting that makes you feel like you are wild camping with loads of pitches to choose from. We had a very peaceful pitch a d could make a campfire. We had a lovely 3 nights here on our way back to England. Clean facilities with constant hot water. Ideal for visiting Paris- the owner directed us to a station within zone 5 that had free parking and allowed us to buy a ticket for €12 that gave us unlimited travel around Paris!

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Everything!
We were a bit daunted at first when finding a pitch but it was so worth it! Huge, private pitch in lovely surroundings. It really feels like wild camping but with all the benefits of a regular campsite. Good facilities, baguettes and croissants in the morning and lovely staff. We only stayed one night on our way back to Calais but will definitely be back. Loved it!

Power optional grass tent or RV campsite

Liked We loved the fact you could pitch up anywhere felt like we were wild camping.
Owner was friendly on arrival told us about places we could visit nearby

Disliked The swimming was closed due to refurbishment which we didn't realise, that was the main point for us.
Around the club house needs cleaning up maybe an investment of a mower and hedge trimmer. It was all over grown Around the play area and the fort. No real rules for quiet time a few noisy people late at night and early hours.

Local attractions

The site sits north of Paris (about an hour’s drive), so you can have a day to explore the City of Lights, board a bateau-mouche cruise down the River Seine, visit art masterpieces in The Louvre and dine in Montmartre bistros. Another bucket-list attraction about the same distance away is the Palace of Versailles, where you can tour opulent apartments and wander the formal water gardens. Another grand palace is open for tours at sublime Chantilly (15 minutes), which also has an equine museum and stellar art collection; close by is the exceptional Gothic architecture of soaring Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Senlis (25 minutes). If that all sounds a bit too much like culture, the kids will probably prefer day trips to the rollercoasters and water rides at Gaul-themed Parc Astérix (half an hour). For your full compliment of amusement parks, head for the parades, musical shows and simulator rides at Disneyland Paris (an hour). To make things easy for you, tickets for both world-renowned parks are available to buy at reception on site.
