  • 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

Great spot for Madrid access, friendly staff & big pitches. Pool, bar & hot showers praised. But, cleanliness issues (dated loos!) and noise (weekends!) are common complaints. Some found electric hook-ups dodgy. Needs updating & can get busy with locals.

Liked The bar and restaurant were clean food was good and the ladies pleasant. The chap was a little less tolerant of our pigeon Spanish
The reception people were friendly

Disliked The bathroom facilities were dark, cold and dated.
The pitches were muddy and unkempt
There were full timers on the pitches, their plots resembled a shanty town

Liked Easy check in the man on reception was pleasant, big pitches , told to park anywhere on the left, the site is close to the train station to take you into Madrid

Disliked Disliked the site and the area outside of the site as it appears industrial (didn't have a safe feeling) , the toilets/showers ( I would not use the shower), no hot water to wash dishes, the site is very dark and appears to be dirty in all areas

Liked Parzellen sind gross genug.

Disliked Noch vor der Schranke sah das Gelände etwas unsauber aus.
Rezeption okay.
Stellplatz okay.
Der Preis pro Nacht 37,50 ist zu teuer.
Es wird nichts geboten. Die Duschen immer kalt. In die Toilette kommt man kaum rein,

Die Räume für Damen waren so versteckt, dass ich als Frau abends angst hatte.
Alte Hütten von Dauercampern und sehr verschmutzte Plätze.
Wir haben uns sehr unwohl gefühlt und sind nach 2 Nächten weiter gefahren.
Geld umsonst bezahlt.
Was nützt die Lage, wenn es Abgase und Autolärm gibt. Ausserdem wollten wir das Wohnmobil nicht allein lassen.

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.
