Camping La Ardilla Roja, San Martin De Valdeiglesias Overview
Camping La Ardilla Roja is a 2-star hotel in San Martin De Valdeiglesias, Spain. Rated 8.0 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Camping La Ardilla Roja is a 2-star stay in San Martin de Valdeiglesias, Spain, aimed at travelers who want outdoor time without giving up basic comforts. Located on Carretera del Pantano, it works well for families and pet owners looking for space, a garden setting, and a seasonal outdoor pool when the weather cooperates. The property has a terrace for downtime and free self-parking for easy arrivals and day trips. Breakfast is available for a surcharge, which helps if you want to start outings without planning a separate morning stop.
Guests who rated the hotel around 8/10 often mention the practical, no-fuss feel and the welcoming atmosphere for both children and pets. Several reviewers highlight that the layout suits longer stays, especially when you can spend time outdoors between excursions. The front desk has limited hours, so it’s worth planning arrival timing around check-in from 12:00 PM to midnight.
In the wider area, you can pair pool time with nearby family attractions. Aquapark San Martín is about 3 km away for water-park fun, while Castillo de la Coracera sits roughly 4 km from the property for a historical outing. If you prefer nature walks, the reservoir landscape around Embalse de San Juan is around 6 km away, giving you an easy way to get fresh air. For a bigger day trip, El Escorial is about 52 km from San Martin de Valdeiglesias.
Best for budget-minded families, pet-friendly travelers, and anyone who’d rather explore the countryside than stay in the middle of a city.

Should You Book Camping La Ardilla Roja?
Worth considering if you want a budget-friendly, outdoors-focused stay near water and nature, and you value a garden setting plus free self-parking. The 8/10 guest rating from 5 reviews suggests a generally positive experience for the basics, but it’s a 2-star property with limited front-desk hours.
Best For
- Families looking for an outdoor-oriented base with space and a seasonal outdoor pool
- Pet owners who want a stay that explicitly allows pets and offers outdoor areas like a garden/terrace
- Travelers who plan day trips to nearby attractions like Aquapark San Martín and Embalse de San Juan
- Budget-conscious groups or solo travelers who mainly need parking, breakfast as an add-on, and a simple, smoke-free property
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need full-time reception or flexible check-in support, since the front desk is limited hours
- People expecting a highly walkable, city-center environment, since the stay is positioned on Carretera del Pantano and nearby sights are listed by distance rather than walkability
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to roadside noise, given the property’s location on a main road (no other noise details provided)
What to Expect
You arrive by car to a simple, outdoor-leaning 2-star setup on Carretera del Pantano, with free self-parking making the start of the trip straightforward. The grounds feel relaxed, with a garden and terrace where you can unwind between activities, and you can plan around the seasonal outdoor pool when it’s available. For day plans, it’s convenient to aim for Aquapark San Martín (about 3 km) or head toward Embalse de San Juan (about 5 km) and the regional river-course park (about 8 km). Guests’ overall 8/10 sentiment from a small set of reviews points to satisfaction with the basics and the outdoor focus.
