Hi Rachel,
Yeah, the forest is big and the public transport is sparse. I would definitely rent a car. As for a crash pad, you can rent them from the gites. I list two on this post and I am pretty sure they both rent crash pads. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Hope you have a good trip.
Rachel

Rachel,
This blog is incredibly helpful! I'm planning a trip to Font for Easter weekend. I wanted to try and do it without a car but everything I've read highly recommends renting a car. Do you know where I could possibly rent a crash pad?

Hi Rachel, love to see a TripBeta article on a place I know :-)

On the camping: I think you mean Camping La Musardière, and it's located just outside of Milly-la-Forêt (it's signposted from the village). Lots of climbers at La Musardière and several climbing areas well within an hour's walk from the camping site; even without a car you can stay here for a few weeks and have a good time, weather permitting.

Another climber frequented camping is Camping Les Pres in Grez-sur-Loing. I never visited this one, but it's a fine camping too, I heard. If I'm not quite mistaken a car comes in handy here.
