cant find it anywhere
Camping du Tremblay seems like a reasonably easy place to get to despite the fact that it is located some distance away from the centre of Paris.
The campsite is located near "Joinville le Pont" station on line A2 of the RER train network. The RER (Réseau Express Régional) is an express train network which serves the suburbs further out and is completely separate from the Paris Metro so you won't find it on Paris Metro maps (This confused me for a while). Trains along route A2 come every 10 minutes.
From "Joinville le Pont" station, Bus Route 101 can take you directly to the campsite. The buses come about every half hour and the campsite is the last bus on the route so you don't need to be worried about not getting off at the correct location.
There is also an RER stop at the Charles de Gaulle Airport (on the B3 line) so you can take the train from the Airport to Joinville le Pont. Please note that whilst the campsite itself is located in Champigny, Joinville le Pont station is much closer to the campsite than Champigny station.
Here is a map of the RER which stops at the Airport and Joinville le Pont:
Here is a combined map showing both the RER and Paris metro routes as well as the "Transilien Suburban Lines" which serve the areas on the outskirts of Paris:
Here is a map showing the buses that meet with the trains at "Joinville le Pont" station to take you to the campsite. Route 101 is the yellow line to the East of the station:
Although you shouldn't completely rely upon what I have written (as the information provided by Contiki is likely to be much more accurate), I hope this helps you find your bearings so to speak.

Is there any recommendations on how to get to Paris from London? I can't decide to take the EuroStar or fly to one of the Paris airports. Anyone know where the trip starts in Paris, and whether it would be easier to get there from the airport or Paris' central station.
