Getting There
We travelled from Aranda de Duero via Buitrago del Lozoya, navigating the busy roads around Madrid before reaching Aranjuez.
The campsite is situated beside the River Tagus (Río Tajo).
Exploring the Area
Aranjuez is home to an impressive Royal Palace, historic buildings and extensive gardens.
We explored the area by bike, although cycling isn’t permitted within the Palace grounds or the Jardín del Príncipe, so we left our bikes and continued on foot.
The Jardín del Príncipe is vast, with towering plane trees, unusual trees, fountains and peaceful pathways. It’s easy to lose your bearings amongst the many paths!
Our tip: Before leaving your bikes, drop a location pin in WhatsApp so you can find your way back. A lesson we learnt after getting rather lost in the gardens!
Our Verdict
A well-maintained, family-oriented campsite with clean facilities and generous pitches.
We were disappointed that food wasn’t available until 8 pm, and at €35 per night during the holiday weekend, it was more expensive than we’d hoped.
Aranjuez itself was well worth exploring, particularly its royal buildings and gardens. The campsite was perfectly adequate, but not quite our style, and probably not somewhere we’d return to.
