Camping in Madrid Community

Camping in the Madrid Community often surprises travellers, because most people only think of the city. Once you leave the centre, you quickly reach open hills, reservoirs, and forested areas that are easy to explore. Around the Sierra de Guadarrama and Sierra Norte, campsites and small RV areas sit close to lakes and walking routes, making it simple to plan short hikes or relaxed afternoons by the water. Places like Navacerrada, Rascafría, and Lozoya offer cooler air in summer and plenty of space even on busy weekends. South of the city, the landscape becomes flatter and more rural. Here you’ll find simple camping options near vineyards, farming towns, and quiet backroads. These areas work well if you want a slower pace or prefer cycling and short countryside walks. Madrid itself remains close enough for a quick visit, so it’s easy to combine time outdoors with a day in the city. The region suits campers who want accessible nature without travelling far, along with the chance to switch between mountain views and urban experiences when they feel like it.
