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. From the campsite, you can visit the old town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial by car within 15-minutes.

The camping fields are spacious with plenty of shade from the large surrounding trees or awnings. Or would you prefer to opt for convenience and rent a comfortable vacation home?

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.

Prima camping om Madrid te bezoeken. Het is een grote massale cp. met in het weekend veel Madrilenen. Ook als doortrekcamping geschikt.

niet aan te raden. onverzorgde staanplaatsen, plaatsen niet gescheiden of afgebakend. Stoffige onverharde wegen tussen de percelen.Is absoluut zijn geld NIET waard. Wij zijn er dan ook maar één nacht gebleven.

Travelling party: Seniors

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.
