As Deleted User User says, CL's are rarely found in France, and those that are are usually run by Caravan Club members who have bought a place in France, and opened up a field for other caravanners. They are often missing from the French campsite guides, and only really advertised on the back pages of the Caravan Club magazine.
The nearest you will get are Aire Naturelles - and there are quite a few of those, throughout France, but don't expect them to be as basic as a British CL. All of them will have a sanitary block, a chemical point, electricity, and some may even have a pool and a little bar/restaurant. You can google Aire Naturelle Camping - and you can search for them on the Camping France website, or in their guide book Le Guide Officiel Camping Caravanning (available from Amazon). However, the closest I can find to Disneyland Paris is this one: Aire Naturelle des Marnieres and there don't seem to be many in the vicinity of Disneyland.
You can, as Deleted User User says, use the 'Bienvenue a la Ferme' website to find farm sites, but again don't expect them to be as basic as British CL's - campsites in France have to have certain 'facilities' in order to be a registered campsite. Those shown when you open the link are the only two in the Ile de France region (the region in which Disneyland is situated,, but both are a fair way from Disneyland, and if you plan to spend a lot of time on the Park then my advice would be to find a nearer campsite.
Most people, visiting Disneyland, use Les Quatre Vents, which gets good reviews. Other options for cheaper sites would be municipal campsites, which are those run by the local Mairie (or town hall). Use www.camping-municipal.org to find those. Again there aren't many in the area around Paris and specifically not near Disneyland.

Three weeks in and around Paris? Many people would spend two days at Euro Disney, two or three more in Paris and then go on somewhere else - somewhere cheaper. What's the plan?

Buy the FFFC Sites directory from Vicarious Books, there are a lot of CL type farm sites at the back of the directory

Echo80 , They are not exactly CLs but if you are looking for reasonably priced sites in that area in the summer you could start with www.camping-municipal.org and click Normandy on the map. I would be looking at a whole string of them on the west side of the Cherbourg peninsula - the coast looking out towards the Channel Isles. Or do you want to go further away?
