We stayed here for 10 days in August 2012. They hygiene was appalling and the toilets were covered with excrement and urine by midday. The water in the pool was grey not blue. Many people in the camp came home early due to diarrhoea and vomiting. My children aged 6 and 7 had terrible violent diarrhoea and vomiting, our entire row of tents also came down with the same sickness bug. Nice site but filthy - dont Visit it!!!

We have recently returned from a trip to Berny Riviere, France. The campsite is great for families with lots to do on the site and outside. The kiddies race track with little cars and motorbikes was an instant hit with our 3 year old. The bouncy castle was great for our 2 year old although he needed a little help to get in. The swimming pool complex is excellent for all ages and for our 2 boys the children's pool was great as it is one depth throughout so they both felt confident playing in the water. We went to Asterix Parc which we would highly recommend for all ages. Some great rides for little ones. unfortunately we booked through Keycamp and found all the mobiles homes filthy, not just our family but also the other 2 families that travelled with us. We had to deal with blood and vomit on mattresses from previous guests, lumps of mould surrounding the kids beds and then had to ask for an apology!!!The stained mattress was not changed but a cover just put on for some other poor unsuspecting customer. I noticed this as I was leaving the mobile to go to my 3rd allocated accommodation after refusing to stay in it. Other members of our travelling group got presented with a mobile with a hole in the wall, dirt all over the floor, stains all over soft furnishings and a table literally falling apart. So overall campsite really good, clean and tidy with excellent facilities but our stay not the best due to Keycamp service

My family have stayed in Le Croix du vieux Pont on 3 occasions and are planning to spend 2 weeks again this year. The site itself big and busy but is very well managed with everything spotlessly clean. There is a lovely swimming pool complex with a range of different pools to suit everyone (kids pool, slide pool, large pool and outdoor waterpark). Adjacent to the pool complex is a pleasant bar with a games room upstairs and a disco room downstairs. There is a large terrace area where you can sit with a drink and watch the kids in the pool during the day and relax in the evening (if you are lucky like us with last years 30 degree plus temperatues).

The site has its own restaurant that I have personally never used. It is, by all accounts, very expensive and the food/service not particularly good. The takeaway is pretty decent offering the usual burgers/nuggets/pizza/chips etc etc.

The site has several lakes with fishing available. You can hire pedalos and canoes on one of the lakes and there is a nearby playground with a mini go cart track and trampolines (all cost extra). The site also boasts an all weather football pitch, a table tennis room and has its own man made beach complete with parasols and a pleasant beach bar/restaurant.

The pitches are generally very nice , most offering a good degree of privacy. Some offer shade but there are many (ours was one of them) that have no shade and the vans are face on to the sun all day. This is not pleasant when you get weather as hot as we had it last year. This may sound like a minor grumble but when you pay out a lot of money for the top of the range van you expect a decent pitch. I would say that the company we booked with are probably at fault here rather than the site. The nearby village of vic-sur-aisne is very pleasant with an ancient castle and some small shops including a bar/tabac, several bakers, a butchers and newsagents. There is also a small Intermarche all within 10 minutes walk of the site. In the other direction is Berny where you will find the fantastic Chez Michelin restaurant. Book it through the site, you will not be disapointed!!

Soissons is a 20 minute drive away and there is a massive Cora supermarket which is very reasonable. the petrol is cheap there too. DisneyLand is about 90 minutes by car and is a straightforward journey. Also you have Reims about an hour away which is well worth a visit both for it's fantastic architecture and its world famous Champagne houses. You can drive around the Champagne region which is worth the travel (not recommended for kids who get bored in a car!!)and stop off at some of the small Champagne Chateau to make a few purchases (recommended).

Back to the site there is a small shop that sells the basics and an on site bakery for your lovely fresh croissant and baguettes. It really does have everything you need for a great hiliday. Enjoy!!

£15 sun holiday booking so a bargain price,I wouldn't pay full price however as I think you'd have better value in an air conditioned hotel mid summer and get TV ! The area was not too commercialised. Everywhere I went I said 'Bonjour, Pardon je ne parlez pas Francais bien' with a big smile & people were more than helpful.
The reps for ALL the various holiday groups were friendly and helpful.We were stationed next to the drainage -it was stinky in the july heat.But also right next to the complex. The pools were lovely,the place was clean, local shops nearby, as their campsite baguettes were awful.We arrived early @ 8am due to an night ferry and used the facilities all day.Our little girl was ill on the 1st day the staff were very concerned & offered help.
The caravan was clean but hot so we were glad we brought a fan. No TV so glad we had the nintendo DS/Laptop for little one to watch DVD's on.
The caravan had a cooker with oven & a large fridge freezer.So we froze lots of little drinks to take to disneyland in out packed lunch.
There is no evening programme like in the UK, except for 1 kiddies disco. You can pay 5E & use your laptop with unlimited wi-fi by the bar daily,if lucky find a plug socket to use as well.
Each site was cordoned off with trees so it gave some measure of privacy, the most were 2 to a site. Ours had decking,we took advantage of the free coal & had a BBQ.Nearby Soissons was lovely(macdonalds) ~ Pierrefonds nearby has a beautiful fairytale castle(creepy crypt in cellar). Disneyland is a good 60- 90 minutes drive depending on how early you leave/traffic.
Despite the sewage smell, I really couldn't fault the place, we had a good time despite madams sickness. French Supermarkets open 9am and shut by 8pm, some are open a little later, they ALL SHUT FOR LUNCH. So if you are a late arriver and need a few supplies overnight, stop en route and buy or go without ...

A lovely family campsite, fantastic!! Loads to do for the children to keep them busy all day long. Lovely swimming pools/a man made beach/parks/fantastic fishing lakes.They organise trips via coach to disneyland paris and to paris itself. We stopped on a ready made pitch,And the faciliies were fabulous with local aminities very local. Entertainment for the children was lovely with kids clubs during the day and the odd disco twicw a week,but plenty to do in the evenings. And still very relaxing for couples/groups. Suits most types.Not suitable though for young groups as its based more on families. Over all a lovely family holiday. Going again next year!! five star No complaints

Excellent holiday with lots to do for the kids, accomodation is good and nearby supermarket has everything you could want. Setting is lovely. We went in Paris for a day (would recommend you book train tickets well in advance as booking on the day was hideously expensive). Also within easy reach to Eurodisney which is an awful place but kids love it!!!

Just returned from a great week at this holiday park. Plenty to do and ideal for families. Very clean and tidy and french staff excellent and extrenely helpful. Well worth a visit. Loved the location and layout of the park. Very well organised and well kept.

We went to this site in October 2009 and stopped in a 8/10 person Gite. We had trouble with fridge but the french owners couldn't do enough to help. Brilliant park with plenty of space for kids.
Great idea dong the trips, as it saves any driving. Only down side is the expensive bar.

So much for children to do, Berny Riviere La Croix du Vieux Pont felt very relaxed and family friendly!
Great facilities-Swimming pool, beach, play parks...

Berny Riviere La Croix du Vieux Pont has a fantastic manmade beach and a very tidy and clean site with lots of facilities for the kids. The park also has relaxing spa facilities for us grown ups. Really enjoyed the holiday so no bad points really apart from the tents on the park looked a little grubby. From so many holiday parks in France we ended up searching on the web and found a site (myfamilyholidays. com) that had lots of reviews and helped us choose this fantastic holiday park.

We have visited Berny Riviere La Croix du Vieux Pont twice for October half term.
The pool is excellent and the site we found to be very clean and tidy.
The site is very well placed to drive to Disney which we have done twice and also for a day trip to Reims by train (From Soissons changing at Laon).
* Some staff at Soisson station speaks better English than my French !
The bar and restaurant are ok and also the supermarket nearby has ample parking and is reasonably priced.
There is a large 'Cora' hypermarket in Soissons which sells everything and also has the cheapest petrol station we found.
We are visiting Berny Riviere again this year with our 4 children to try the Canvas Lodges in August (Previously stayed in Caravans with Keycamp and French life which were both very good with helpful Reps on hand.)
