Although you can reach Paris by train , it does take a good hour on a very slow train. The village is only about a mile up the road and it has a lovely bread shop. It is also the place to stay to be within striking distance of Disneyland Paris.

The Chêne Gris Campground offers you a warm welcome and friendly service in the heart of Brie country, nestled in the valley of the Grand Morin River.
You will appreciate the peace and quiet as you relax in this picturesque environment full of forests and valleys.
You can reach the center of Paris by train. We also recommend that you visit the medieval city of Provins, the chateau at Vaux-Le-Vicomte, the city of Coulommiers and the both chateau and forest at Fontainebleau.
20mn from Disneyland Paris.
5 hectares of land divided into 160 demarcated campsites (about 120 sq.m. each) with running water, used water evacuation and electricity. There are also sanitary facilities complete with an unlimited supply of hot water.

The description is quite accurate. However, there are going to be a lot of changes this winter (04-05). When we were on the site in august, we saw that the campsite has got a new owner. During this winter a new main building will be constructed (including bar, restaurant, snack, supermarket) and there will be a paddling pool for children and a heated and covered swimming pool. Well worth checking their internet site !

Stayed at Le Chêne Gris with family and friends in July 2006.
Positives
- It is very close to Disneyland Paris and allows you to have a full day there without the worries of travelling. Do use the back roads to get there though, as the toll road is a complete rip off.
- It is right next to a train station with regular trains into the heart of Paris which take just under an hour.
- Nice Italian restaurant on site although some complained the portions were a bit small.
Negatives
- Unhelpful and impolite staff. A simple request for the nearest open shop was met with "there are none open today" even though a subsequent drive round found numerous shops open.
- Swimming pool, toilets, showers and site in general were very dirty. Ladies showers in particular never seemed to produce anything better than a cold dribble!
- There seemed to be a number of travellers/workers on the site who let there children run riot. I have children myself and I am used to boisterous children, but this went beyond boisterous and was very intimidating. The people on the pitch next to us actually left after an altercation with some of them.
On balance, great positioning, but not a great site. We won't be returning.

Remember that people are always more prepared to write and complain than they are to praise good service.

Stayed here in Aug 2007. Overall impression was one of no maintenance - grass not cut, hedging untidy - brambles and nettles present. Pitches available include grass and hard standing. Terraced, lowest level next to railway line although not very busy and noise is short term. Plenty of shade from the trees - if you want the sun then chose your pitch carefully! Young staff at the service point who were often seen to be smoking and chatting - apart from showing us the pitch didn't have any more dealings with them. Reception gave us a far better welcome! Showers though were lovely - plenty of hot water. Only the one shower / toilet block although not overly busy.
Not full in peak season probably tells it's own story! Penty of Dutch and English when we stayed, not a single French person in sight. Would we go back there? Probably not given the other options around.
Around 25 mins to Disney car park. No problem in arriving back late. Gate never closed, barriers on site never down!

This is a WARNING and Genuine!
This site does not match its website at all
the roads and car standing area are solid hardcore the size of your fist and not tamped down its like walking on a stone quarry floor, and then when wet it is like a very wet flooded quarry and is just like a bad day at Glastonbury the pitches are ALL mud there is NO Grass to pitch on, when it rains you will be up to at least 6 inches of mud and flooded out, we were swamped and had to spend a week washing and drying the tent and clothes, it is a site from hell.
It is built on a clay base that holds water and then there is plastic sheeting to hold back plant growth so there is no means of water drainage, the site is tiered and when it rains you are camped in the path of a waterfall, after our hell on the first night at least half the site were flooded out and people left the site the next day in droves, the manager agreed the site was poor and not as stated online and that it always flooded (there own tents are up on boards above the water) he refused to give us back our money and when we knew the site was soooooooooo bad with only one shower and toilet block for the whole site we decided to go elsewhere even then he would not even let us have the money back for the week we were not going to stay, so we cut our losses and moved to an ace site only 25 mins away with real grass and excellent facilities. This is not just a story of sour grapes it is a story of a true holiday from hell and this site should be avoided at all cost. Don’t say I did not warn you if you decide to go here.

Large, quiet site - mixture of mobil-homes and pitches for tents. Situated on chalky soil, so you get white marks on shoes and trousers. Really handy for Disneyland. VERY friendly, helpful and responsive staff. Train station next to site - 50 minutes to the centre of Paris, very helpful SNCF lady at counter. Pools at site small and closed (end of October). Nearby town of Coulommiers worth a visit. It rained a lot while we were here but we saw nothing of the Glastonbury conditions mentioned elsewhere.
