Now up-dated for 2011 
I first started researching into Camping and Caravanning at DLP when I realised that my eldest son starts school in September and this year would be the last of the cheap off-peak holidays that we have enjoyed for the past three years.
Now I am a regular off-siter and I am used to only paying 25 a night for my accommodation within 20 minutes of DLP...I was shocked that the same accommodation was 98 during July and August.
What I have found is a cheap(er) way of visiting the parks for those who dont mind camping. A few sites also have mobile homes (very similar to the Davy Crockett Ranch) however these can be expensive during peak times.
First things first when staying off-site you obviously need to arrange your own park tickets, my suggestion would be to buy an Annual Pass. For roughly the same price as a 3-4 day park hopper you can purchase a Fantasy Annual Pass, the best thing it does it to give you access to the car park at DLP for free, this is a saving of 12 per day. For more information on annual passes please visit here
There are 8 campsites listed within a reasonable travel distance to Disneyland Paris.
Caravanning des 4 Vents: They have a simple year round price structure here which is 27 per night for 2 adults and a tent or caravan, each additional person is charged at 6 each and children under 5 are free. You can also take animals with you for a 3 per night surcharge. The site also has Mobile homes for rental at the price of 560 per week, or 83 per night for a minimum of 3 nights. This is a year round tariff that does not increase during the summer months...so you'll pay the same price if you go in May or in mid-August.
Camping Les Etangs Fleuris: A great little family run site located 25 minutes from Disneyland Paris. Their Camping tariff is 9.50 per adult per night inclusive of electricity and 8.50 per night without electricity. Children aged 3-10 are 4 per night regardless of electricity and children under 3 are free. Again this campsite offers this tariff year round, no premium for staying there in the school holidays. This campsite also offers mobile homes for rent, these range from 590 to 640 in July and August but can be had for as little as 390 per week in off-peak times.
Flower Camping La Ferte Gaucher: A lovely looking site located 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris. The site offers pitches with both electrical hook up's and non electric. The base tariff at this site is only 11 per night for a non-electric hook up and 15 for an electric hook up for a tent with two people, each additional person aged 7 and over is charged at 3 per night, children aged 2 to 7 are 2 per night and under 2's are free. Again a year round tariff at this site.
Les Courtilles du Lido: This campsite is the furthest away from Disneyland Paris that I have included on this list, this would be good for those who want to explore the region as well as having a day or two at Disneyland Paris however I would not recommend this site for those who's main aim is to visit DLP. This site has a who long list of everything that you are charged for. Each adult is charged at 4 per person per night, children under 10 are 3, it will cost you 5.50 for a tent pitch and 6 for a caravan pitch. Motor homes are charged at 8.50. If you'd like electricity during your stay this will cost you another 3 per night, your car costs you a further 2.50 for each day and there is a 20 deposit for your entrance card for the barrier.
Camping Paris Est: Located 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris, this would be my least favourite choice. This campsite has the most difficult charging system to understand. Prices here range from 25 per night for a tent, two people, car and electricity up to 33 during the summer however you are literally charged separately for everything. Obviously for some this is better, but to me it seems like they should have two or three rates instead for ease of understanding.
Camping Du Bois De Boulogne: Owned by the same company as Camping Paris Est, they have the same complex charging system.
L Ille Demoiselle: This campsite is located 10 minutes from Disneyland Paris, 30 minutes from Paris and 35 minutes from Parc Asterix and is open from April until October every year. This campsite literally charges you separately for everything. Here is a breakdown of how to work out your price:
Pitch: 4
Water: 2.50
Adult: 3
Children: 2
Animals: 1.50
Car: 2.50
Tent Supplement: 1.50
Electricity (6amp): 4
Electricity (4amp): 2.50
So the total for 2 adults and 2 children in a tent with 6 amp electricity, water and taking their own car would be 24.50 per night all year round.
Camping Le Chene Gris: A superb site, by far the best that I have visited. Approximately a 20 minute drive from the Disneyland Park there is both a toll road and a toll free road which both take roughly the same time. This site allows tents, motor homes and caravans. They also have two different styles of static tents for those who dont have or dont wish to take their own as well as three different styles of mobile home.
Off peak here you will be looking at between 20 and 31 per night for the Luxury Tent rising to 72 at the height of summer. Mobile homes start from 39 per night rising to 107 during the summer. A pitch here starts at 29 per night and goes up to 44 per night during the summer months. This is by far the most expensive site around Disneyland Paris during peak season however off-peak the static tents represent excellent value for money.
I hope this has been of some use to someone out there. Any questions, please drop me a PM and Ill try to help where I can.
Happy camping,
Johnny
