  • 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.

What customers say

This campsite receives mixed reviews. While many praise the friendly and helpful staff, convenient location for Madrid, and good value for money, a significant number of visitors highlight poor hygiene and dated facilities, particularly the toilets and showers. Noise from outside the site and within, along with cleanliness issues, are recurring complaints, leading some guests to leave early. Despite these drawbacks, the pool and bar are often mentioned positively.

Electric earth pitch

Liked La personne qui a fait notre enregistrement et nous a accueilli qui était très sympa et a fait l'effort de nous parler en français.

Disliked Tout. Un camping à fuir absolument tant il est sale.
Des détritus sur les emplacements, des sanitaires quasiment jamais nettoyés avec des poubelles qui débordent en permanence.
Une horreur ! Je mets une étoile car je ne peux pas mettre zéro.
Avec des campeurs peu recommandables qui semblent se complaire dans toute cette crasse ambiante.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Glad this was a 1 night stopover. Site old and out dated. Toilets and showers disgusting. Toilets wouldn't flush not been cleaned in the morning. I would remove this from your listing. Over £30 for 1 night stay. Don't bother, stay somewhere else. Vile.

Liked Warmes Duschwasser.
Sanitäranlagen waren sauber.
Stromanschluss funktionierte ohne Ausfall.
Metro-Anschluss in 2,5 km Entfernung (dort kann man mit Womo tagsüber bedenkenlos und kostenfrei parken).

Disliked Sanitäranlagen sind reparatur- und sanierungsbedürftig.
Der Platz ist im allgemeinen ungepflegt.
Die Stromkästen sind innen von Schnecken und Ameisen bevölkert.
Am Wochenende starke Frequenzen von außerhalb zu den BBQ-Plätzen auf dem Campingplatz.
Der Hund eines Dauercampers war am Tag und in der Nacht bellend aktiv.
In einer Nacht war der Streit eines Dauercamperpaares ab 04:00 Uhr morgens bis zu unserer Abreise um 08:00 Uhr lautstark mitzuhören.
Zu hohe Preise für zu wenig Leistung.

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.
