  • 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

Convenient for Madrid, with friendly staff and ample space. Some loved the pool, bar and eatery, but others noted issues with cleanliness, old facilities and noise. Safety and industrial surroundings were also concerns for some. A budget option, though some felt facilities didn't match the price.

Electric earth pitch

Liked Disponibilidad del personal incluso durante la madrugada

Disliked Las parcelas no están asfaltadas, solo hay tierra. Las tomas de corriente están en pésimas condiciones; la mayoría funcionan mal y no disponen de adaptadores. Los servicios están repartidos en puntos distantes de la estructura, lo que te obliga a caminar mucho para completar todas las tareas de higiene del camper. Solo hay una vía de entrada y salida, lo que genera atascos de tráfico realmente insoportables.

Electric earth pitch

Liked L'emplacement plutôt calme à l'entrée et propre. La convivialité et la gentillesse du personnel. Un gentil petit chat avec lequel mes enfants ont joué.

Disliked Les douches sont vétustes , rouillées mais propre.
Le camping est en zone industrielle donc beaucoup de passage de camion.
Les aires d'enfants et le camping en général est mal entretenu ...

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.
