  • Family-friendly campsite 20 minutes’ drive from central Madrid
  • Parque Warner Madrid 20 minutes’ drive and Toledo 45 minutes
  • Restaurant, tapas bar, barbecues and shop; pool and sports courts
Keen to explore Madrid but not so keen on staying right in the city centre? Compromise by setting yourselves up at Camping Alpha, a leafy site 20 minutes’ drive from days of sightseeing at famed attractions including the Museo Nacional del Prado, Palacio Real and Plaza de España. But don’t plan to spend all your time in Madrid, for there’s plenty going on at the campsite – basketball, volleyball and tennis for starters, as well as swimming pools (one for toddlers) open in the summer months, and a play area to tire out the kids. The tapas bar and restaurant come with a terrace for leisurely dining on balmy evenings, and if you fancy doing some alfresco cooking yourself, you can get grilling on the communal barbecues (stock up on food at the campsite store). The pitches at Camping Alpha are tucked under trees for shade on hot summer days, there’s 24-hour service at reception, a launderette and modern showers. The site is handy for catching the train into Madrid from Getafe Central railway station (10 minutes’ drive) or taking the bus – there’s a stop a few paces from the campsite entrance – while Nassica and Westfield Parquesur shopping malls are both about 10 minutes away by car.

Electric earth pitch

Liked: Good location for visiting Madrid

Disliked: This is possibly the worst campsite I have had the misfortune to visit. First apperances are OK but once past reception it turns into a garbage tip it's just a mess no other way to describe it. Booked two nights but left after just one. My advice avoid like a plague.

Electric earth pitch

Liked: Wir haben sofort einen Stellplatz bekommen.

Disliked: Leider sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Toiletten sehr verdreckt. Scheinen auch für durchreisende LKW Fahrer zu sein. Für den Preis stimmt leider das Niveau nicht. Wir wollen nicht meckern, haben aber in 4 Wochen jeden Tag einen anderen Campingplatz gehabt in Spanien. Für den Preis hatten wir sogar 5 Sterne Plätze. Hier ist das Preisniveau leider zu hoch, oder die Qualität zu niedrig. Insgesamt sehr abgewohnt. Für Besucher einer Großstadt jedoch unwürdig. Eine Modernisierung wäre dringend notwendig.

Electric earth pitch

Liked: Nada,

Disliked: Suciedad, parcelas con más m***da… baños sucios, lavabos rotos, cristales de la ducha rotos y asquerosos, allí los fijos cada uno hace lo que le da la gana, los contenedores en la puerta de los servicios y toda la basura por el suelo, asqueroso todo, puedes pagar 16€ el día y hacer uso de las barbacoas y la piscina. Le he puesto una estrella por no me deja ponerle ninguna, sin duda jamás volveré a repetir, tengo fotos que avalan lo que vi y viví

Electric earth pitch

Liked: I was carrying my rubbish to a bin and a maintenance guy driving past kindly offered to take it for me.
Tiles around pool area where nice. Pool was clean and large.

Disliked: Where do I start…?
On arrival, reception is very dismal and tired.
Barrier noise is like the escaping of a prisoner when the prison goes in lockdown in a movie.
Shop still has all plastic wrapping on bottles, like it’s a wholesale warehouse.
Electricity hook ups could do with an electrician to make them safe.
Kids play area dirty.
BBQ areas dirty.
Cabins look like they’ve seen better days.
Grassed area near pool had a smell of wet pets or pet wee.
Toilets and showers in poor condition.
Located within busy Industrial Estate.
I will never take my family there again.
Awful site.

Liked: La piscine et l accueil du réceptionniste dimension des parcelles et ombragé proximité de la ville tarif correct

Disliked: Camping avec une ambiance très particulière . Le compteur électrique est plus que dangereux déchets au sol excréments d animaux l incivilité des gens bruyant camping sale très sale les sanitaires sont pitoyables avec un manque de pudeur les portes des sanitaires sont ouverte jusqu’à vos genoux des blattes traînent au sol des douches l accueil du magasin est un cendrier géant où gis les déchets et les mégots de cigarettes une Maitre nageuse qui ne sert à rien bref ce camping sert juste de alte pour une nuit mais oublier cet endroit si vous voulais passer des vacances

Local attractions

Head into Madrid (20 minutes’ drive) to view spectacular Old Masters at the Museo Nacional del Prado and contemporary works at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. Alternatively, picnic under the trees in Buen Retiro Park, browse the artisan stalls at El Rastro flea market and hang out in tapas bars around Plaza de España. But Madrid is not the only gorgeous city close by. Heading a bit further afield, you can visit Toledo (45 minutes) to tour the exquisite 10th-century Mezquita Cristo de la Luz and the gaily painted interior of the Gothic-era Catedral Primada. Other options include a trifecta of UNESCO-listed cities and their architectural wonders: the gardens and palaces of Aranjuez (half an hour), Segovia’s Jewish Quarter and the wraparound medieval walls of Ávila (both 90 minutes). Closer to base camp, make a beeline for Cerro de los Ángeles (half an hour’s walk), a hilltop complex regarded as the geographical centre of Spain, where you can admire the monastery and monumental statue of Jesus. If the kids are getting impatient with all this culture, the antidote is surely Parque Warner Madrid (20 minutes’ drive) with adrenaline-busting rollercoasters and gentle rides for those of a more nervous disposition.
