Great Budget Location for Disney and Paris

Having read some of the recent reviews before we went, we were really worried about this camping site, but it really isn't as bad as some on here are making it out to be. I'm not an expert in how these things work, but these sites are pretty much leased out to various holiday companies, so maybe the... variation in experiences is based on who you book through. For clarity, we booked through Eurocamp.
To an extent, it may depend on your purpose of staying. We were just using it as a base for Disney and a day in Paris. If you were planning on staying on site for the duration, it may be a different story. At the end of the day, you get what you are paying for. We got four nights stay for the same price as one night at an average hotel and the fraction of the price than had we stayed at Disney itself.
On arrival, the staff were friendly and polite, more than I can say for previous experiences in France! They do ask for your credit card details as a deposit, but we knew this advance as it clearly stated on confirmation documents and this is standard for any hotel and money isn't taken unless there is a need to (apart from a €1 confirmation fee which is refunded). The caravan was clean and well kept. They only slight niggle we had was although we were travelling in April, it was still a little cold during the night and the caravan was freezing during the night and in the morning, even with the heating on.
The location is also excellent, the closest supermarket is only about 5 minutes away, with the closest hypermarket about 15 minutes away by car. Disney itself is only about 25 minutes away by car and as it right next to the station, you can get to the centre of Paris by train in 50 minutes.
The swimming pool is currently being refurbished, which was a little annoying as we would have used that on one or two days, but we were told this in advance and factored this into our plans. For what it's worth though, the progress they were making looked good so when it does open, it looks like it should be a good space.
Would happily stay here again as a base for Disney and going into Paris at a fraction of the price of a city or Disney hotel, but maybe not if my plan was to stay on site the whole time.
