Most interesting spot we have stayed at.

My wife and I drove in late 9PM Friday night and host was there to meet us. Our 27ft class C RV made it up the hill, but kinda bumpy steep road. Rode our bikes all over Madrid and spent a lot of time exploring Madrid Cemetary, which is Awesome! The view and spot are breathtaking. We will return again.

Perfect for secluded car-camping

The spot was perfectly tucked away and shaded, but close to Madrid and all it has to offer.  Kim was a great host and extremely communicative.

Perfect campsite for a rustic camper.

This was a great campsite. There was a great tent spot under the juniper tree and the view to the east was amazing. Kim was a fantastic host and Coala the dog kept me company while I set up camp.
