CityKamp Paris

A nice wooded campsite next to the Sienna and just 6/7km from arc de triomphe. Great shuttle bus every half hour to Porte de maillot - a 15min walk up to arc de triomphe. As other reviewers have commented, it is noisy at night - you can hear music from across the river and the woods. And you can hear emergency vehicle sirens from the city. We were a family with older teenagers so noisy evenings are not a problem, if your kids were light sleepers, it could be. But it is clean, shaded and has very nice pizzas at the bar - tho don’t expect cold French beer - the beer is more English/American traditional ales. Oh and if you bring a tent - it’s hard ground, bring a hammer!

Lovely site, just out side of Paris. Long walk into city centre (approx 90 mins) but there is a great shuttle bus that runs every 30 mins into and out of the city (goes to Porte Maillot where you can easily connect to the centre on public transport). Return shuttle cost us 15 euro for 5 of us. Its clean, modern, was never full and is punctual. Site was lovely and nice to be a wooded area after a busy day in the city, lovely spot by the river. We found some deck chairs where we sat overlooking the river for a while which was nice. The park was lovely, my 11 year old said maybe more suitable for younger kids but he had his football so was happy there. Lots of kids around playing which was nice for him. The reception was open from 0700 - helpful staff, quick check in/out process and staff happy to answer any questions. They spoke excellent English. The restaurant was good. Not the cheapest but good food, suitable for kids and a good variety of drinks available. Restaurant open til 2200 and the bar til 2300. The shop on site was useful. Its open til 2130 and sells fresh bakery products, fruit/veg, drinks incl alcohol, gifts/souvenirs and children's games. Again, not the cheapest but handy to have on site. The fresh/warm croissants/pain au chocolat/baguettes for breakfast each morning were the best! The chalet was great, the terrace was huge and lovely to sit out on but be warned about bugs! We were bitten loads and I'm sure it was sitting out there at night! The chalet slept 6 (Columbia). We had 2 adults and 3 kids (2 of which are adult sized) and it was fine but another person would have been a squeeze. Only one bathroom/toilet slowed things down getting ready in the mornings (especially with a teenage daughter!!) but the bathroom was clean the shower once we'd queued for it was great! Beds were comfortable. We all slept well, even my daughter on the sofa bed. Previous reviews mention the site being loud at night, but we did not have any issues and could only hear some quiet road noise and the occasion siren, certainly nothing to cause us an issue. Kitchen was functional but no kettle available, so for us Brits needing cups of tea we had to boil water on the hob but his was not really a massive issue. Overall, a really lovely stay. Would happily stay here again if we return to Paris but maybe would get the slightly bigger chalet with 3 bedrooms. Site is great for families and also for those who want to be close to the city but want to come back to a quieter environment in the evenings.

Best campsite ever, so close to the beautiful Bois de Bologne, a short bus trip or bike ride to the Arc de Triomphe, then metro from there. Facilities are new and excellent, including the bathrooms, common room, shop and bar. Great way to see Paris!
