Camping near Madrid and El Escorial

Outside the built-up area of the city of Madrid and in a green setting lies this beautiful family campsite. Capfun Camping El Escorial is a well maintained vacation park with touring pitches, permanent pitches, and rental accommodation.

Geweldig mooie ligging, kort bij Sevilla, prachtige mooie weg van 10 km om te fietsen naar de kust, 10 min lopen naar het dorp El raco met mooie zandwegen en vele terrassen en eetgelegenheden, ik ben hier 3 keer geweest met de groep camperreizen en hoop er zeker nog terug te komen, een aanrader voor iedereen.

terrein rommelig, plekken liggen vol met sigaretten peuken. Winkel beperkt open. Sanitair niet verwarmd, wat begin april niet aangenaam is.

Wij stonden hier met onze camper op 5 mei 2024. Erg rommelig en desolate indruk. Daarnaast de hele dag herrie van de betonboren terwijl we wel de hoofdprijs moedten aftikken. Niet naar toegaan dus!

Kan door corona komen maar de camping viel ons erg tegen. Slecht verzorgd terrein met veel onkruid rondom de bomen. Er stonden tijdens ons bezoek nog 3 campers. Deel van de voorzieningen was niet open. Geen WiFi op de plaatsen.

Wij kregen plek 1600 toegewezen, een zogenaamde VIP plek. Het enige VIP was de grootte vd plek. Geen watertappunt, uitzicht ene kant troosteloze huisjes, andere kant caravan s id stalling, weer andere kant uitzicht op opgeslagen rommel.
Toiletgebouw was enorm groot en schoon, werd continue schoongemaakt.
Zwembad met glijbanen was prima.
Goeie, cq enige uitvals basis voor bezoek aan El Escorial, Avila en Segovia.
Op de één na laatste avond kregen we een briefje onder de neus geduwd, dat ze de volgende ochtend vanaf 6 uur, de bomen gingen bespuiten met één of ander inectiticide.
Wij hebben geprotesteerd, maar mocht niet baten. Andere plek die we uit mochten kiezen, zagen er niet uit. En daar kwamen ze de dag daarna spuiten.
Weggaan was toen ook geen optie meer, geen campings id buurt.
Kortom geen leuk einde vd week daar.
Verder is het er doordeweeks uitgestorven en ih weekend vol met erg rumoerige Spanjaarden.

Grote camping (zeg maar rustig resort) met ongeveer 2000 plaatsen. Ook erg veel stacaravans op een andere zijde van de camping. Vriendelijk personeel. Camping is alleen te bezoeken als men vooraf via internet boekt en gedeeltelijk betaald. Het restant van de betaling moet gedaan worden bij het eerste bezoek bij de receptie.
Groot sanitair blok wat goed onderhouden wordt. Zwembad is gericht op kinderen.
Broodservice en winkel aanwezig en open.
In het weekend komen hier veel mensen uit Madrid, wat meer reuring geeft.
De paden aan de buitenzijde van de camping zijn stoffig en worden bereden door voertuigen.
Er kan veel gewandeld worden op als buiten de camping.

Located on the M600, at km-marker 3.5 near El Valle de Los Caidos. From Madrid take A6, exit 47 El Escorial/Guadarrama. Attention: Do not take fastest route. Without SatNav you will end up on unpaved road that is problematic with a caravan.
