peterjl Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi. I haven't been myself but Camping Osuna was recommended when I was planning a visit earlier this year. It looked ok on the website and I trust the person who recommended it to me. Have a good trip. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmac Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi, I stayed at Camping Osuna four years ago for couple of nights.As with most continental campsites you can be a bit close to your neighbour and the gardener is on minimal hours. The toilets /showers were ok and there was free wifi at reception. The big plus is its location, two minute drive from the motorway and a five/six minute walk from the metro station with the route straight to the city centre.

keithanderson Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 We stayed at Arco Iris last year. It's a decent ACSI site with a bus stop outside to get into Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We have stayed at ARANJUEZ ACSI site 2926. Lovely town with Palace, Gardens, Fountains, Train direct to Madrid. Site Ok, a bit run down when we stayed, as a fair number of permanents it was about 4 years ago., so may have improved 19 euros in ACSI, so hopefully it has. Between Madrid and Toledo Free WiFi Easy walk through the gardens for the town PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKen1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We also stayed at Camping Osuna good location for the city shortish walk to the Metro direct to the centre. If you have time, go to Aranjuez as mentioned theres an ACSI site in town. Also near by although not for everbody is the less publicised Valley of the Fallen where Franco is buried along with others from the civil war. Interesting place. El Escorial is also near by but we couldnt find any where to stop so not been yet. Brian K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojitoes Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Aranjuez is a lovely site, we have stayed there half a dozen times in the last 7 years and never had any cause for complaint. It is a nice walk through the park to the town and a trip to the barge museum is a real treat. The Royal Palace is exceptional and there is a good sized Mercadona less than a mile away. We have also stayed at Escorial but most facilities were closed when we were there in February. We could not find out about transport when we were there and it is quite a walk from the campsite to the end of the drive. Definitely a vote for Aranjuez.

Mike88 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 If you use Aranjuez - and I also recommend that you do - one day a week you can get into the Royal Palace for free as long as you bring your passport. Ask at reception for the free day for pensioners or failing that there is a Tourist Information Centre in a cloistered buiding that forms part of the Palace complex. They can also give you bus and train timetables. I think the free day entry to the Palace is on a Wednesday but am not entirely sure. It is a good 25 minutes pleasant walk to the station through the park which forms part of the original Palace grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I would also recommend Aranjuez as well-not only for access to Madrid but the town itself is well worth a stop for couple of days too. Nice site with helpful staff and well placed. Mike PS Wouldn't go in January-it was -9 at night this year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
