If you are planning a budget-conscious family camping holiday at Europe's # 1 tourist destination Disneyland Paris, with the official Disney website recommending you spend 3-days in the large parks, 1-day in Walt Disney Studios Park and 2-days in the Disneyland Park itself, needless to say accommodating all the family can be expensive. Considerable savings can be made, however, by avoiding the pricey hotels and choosing the basic 'no frills' camping option which offers not only a cheaper alternative but also, arguably, a more enjoyable and spacious family experience. Not in tents, but glamping in static caravans, or luxury mobile homes as the French call them. We’ve found the best six (6) luxury camping accommodation options near Disneyland Paris for those on a budget and compared each for you to choose from.

Camping Les Etangs Fleuris is located 30 km from Disneyland Paris, next to Touquin (2 km), 40 miles east of Paris. With only a 25 mins drive to the Disney theme parks Camping Les Etangs Fleuris is an ideal base. The 3-star park is set in a quiet, relaxing rural countryside, among woodland, quite a pleasant contrast to the hectic bustle of the theme parks during the day. On site there is an outdoor swimming pool, a children’s playground, a games room, trampolining, table tennis, a small lake for fishing, picnic spots and some sporting facilities. Amenities are good and include a terraced bar restaurant. Coulommiers is 8 miles away, a market town where you can find all facilities and services including large supermarkets and restaurants. There’s a choice of mobile homes to choose that can accommodate different family group sizes. The Mobile Home Classic can put up to 6 people, including 5 adults.

Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch is located just 5 km from Disneyland Paris. It’s the only 'official' Disneyland accommodation that features on this list but has been included because the ranch is on a Nature Resort and therefore in keeping with our theme of providing the holiday park glamping experience. Davy Crockett ranch is in fact 595 'trapper log cabin’ style bungalow’s which are furnished liked mobile homes with all the necessary amenities that can cozily accommodate up to 6 people. Fully equipped with dining room and a self-catering kitchen, they provide family independence, escaping the hotel’s scheduled dining times. That said, half board is available in the Davy Crockett Tavern if you prefer to dine on site. The cabins are nestled in woodland surroundings on a buzzing family friendly Disney-themed holiday park which is nice if you’d like to keep the Disney magical experience going after returning from a day out at the parks. Facilities on site include numerous activities including an indoor swimming pool. Davy Crockett is slightly more expensive than the other choices on our list but it does add value and is less than 15 mins from the park, minimising travelling time. Please do note that the Disney shuttle bus does not operate between Davy Crockett and the theme parks. A taxi from the Disneyland Resort to Davy Crockett Ranch costs 18€ - 22€. There is free independent parking at your Davy Crockett cabin and, as a Disney resident guest, you're entitled to a hefty discount on car parking fees at the main theme park so if you have a car, use it and you'll save heaps of money on Disney parking charges (25 €/day). Check with Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch to see if Disney Park Tickets are included in the price. Occasionally special offers are available. Dogs are welcome. Davy Crockett Ranch is especially very popular and will be fully booked during school holidays, so book early.

Camping Paris Sud Tohapi is located south of Paris and is still considered a good viable option for Disneyland Paris as the motorway connection means you can still drive to Disneyland in 50 mins. Paris itself is even closer, half the distance, making the park an ideal base to also spend the day in the Capital city. This 3-star family camping ground is set in lush green woods and the leisure park offers a very good standard of facilities and amenities including a bar-restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool and paddling pool (opens in June), a multi-sports pitch, tennis courts, table tennis, a children’s playground and a kids club. On certain dates mobile homes on the basis of book 7 nights pay for 5.

Camping International de Maisons-Laffitte is a fabulous choice for a family stay.

This 4-star family park is an ideal base if you wish to combine visiting the Capital city with Disneyland Paris.

If you wish to save money *** DO NOT BUY TICKETS AT THE GATE ***
If you rock up at Disneyland on the day and buy park entry tickets at the gate you will join a long queue before paying € 109 / adult (€ 102 / child) (2 parks, 1 day).
You will save 26.70 € / person if you pre-book in advance Disney Park tickets online saving you nearly € 107 for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children).
If you intend to visit the parks anymore than 4 days it's cheaper to buy an Annual Pass.
You could perhaps save 3 €'s more by booking with a non-Disney affiliated online ticket seller, however, you might not be entitled to a refund, if needed. In 2020 365-Tickets fell into liquidation during the Covid-19 pandemic and credit card purchases under £100 are not covered under Section 75 Protection.
If you're flexible with dates check Special Offers for deals with up to 35% off Hotels + Park Tickets on selected dates.
Eurostar (Just under £60 return)
Eurostar rail service links London St. Pancras with Paris Gare de Nord in 2:15 hours (less than 2 hours from Ashford, Kent). The rail service is arguably less problematic with fewer queues and searches than by flying from airports. Check-in time is just 30 minutes before scheduled departure time (45 minutes at busier times). Last minute booking will cost £300+ return but if you book more than 6 months in advance it is possible to pick up a bargain for under £60. There are no luggage weight restrictions on Eurostar. Young children aged 4 and under can travel for free providing they sit on your lap. If you choose to fly then children aged 2 years + must have their own seat. Even babies on a flight incur a surcharge.
Bus (£25)
Even cheaper than Eurostar is the National Express coach from London Victoria Coach Station. The journey time takes 7 hours and arrives at Paris Bercy Seine Bus Station. The price is actually £12 one way + a £1 online booking fee which is cheaper than booking by phone (£2.50) or paying at the coach station (£2). The cheaper 'early booking' tickets can be bought from 90 days before travel, so check then before cheaper fares sell out. National Express charge only £15 extra for a return ticket to get to London Victoria Coach Station from any UK coach stops. Again, there are no luggage weight restrictions. Free WiFi on the bus.
Flying
If you choose to fly to Paris, as with every airline, early booking pays dividends. It's always best to book Paris flights as early as you can. With charter airline destinations it is possible to pick up a last minute late deal on a charter flight. However, Paris is not a package holiday charter airline destination so you won't find last minute bargains. At the last minute prices will soar so book flights to Paris early. Whilst Ryanair have limited flights to Paris and only from Manchester, Easyjet, British Airways, Air France fly to Paris from various UK airports. Check Kayak and Skyscanner for live price comparisons.
Getting from Paris airport to Disneyland Paris
Taxi fare from Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport to Disneyland Paris takes 40 mins and will cost around 76€ in the day, and 90€ at night (4 passengers)
Travel Currency Card
Whilst you should book holidays, flights and tickets using a credit card in order to ensure you have Section 75 protection on purchases over £100. When in France do not withdraw money from an ATM or make purchases using a regular UK debit/credit card. It's very costly with unfavourable exchange fees. Save money by using a specialist currency card. You can shop around, there is a choice. Personally I use a Revolut card because its free. Of course, there could be some charges incurred, like for example, withdrawing more than 200 € from an ATM. Providing you know the terms and conditions, it's essentially a free prepaid debit card that will give you near-perfect exchange rates with no commission charges.
