Sites are either asphalt, or grass. We were in an asphalt site which are on quite a bit of a grade and close together. Grass sites appear to be more level. There is an airport near by with takeoff's and landings until 11 at night and starting about 8 AM. So if you are sensitive to noise not a good choice. Amenities are limited, it is a fairgrounds first and foremost, they have bathrooms and shower. They also have 1 set of washer & dryers. Security in some respects is better than most campgrounds. The gates close at 5:30 in the evening and guests have a code for the gate. No code no entry. While the list of Amenities is short it is the only RV park within Monterey and the price definitely beats the alternative at Marina the next nearest park. We would stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful location a few blocks from the action in Monterey. Very helpful camp host. We rode bicycles to the wharf, cannery row, maritime museum, pacific beach, etc. The only problem we had was the RV park is sloped so much that we were on the lower side of the parking lot and fluids flowed downhill from the campers higher up. I think it was water....., and they must be redoing the golf course. Heavy equipment was working nearby into the night one night. The white noise wasn't too bad. Good value for the location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great little campground if you're going to be in the Monterey area. Very basic, but has full hookups, and is only minutes from the beach. Would typically rate a place like this a 6, but the camp hosts are so accommodating that I bumped it up to a 7. The Wi-Fi works fine if you're within 50' of the router, but drops off significantly beyond that. Do note, this campground is at the end of a runway, and jets shoot over your head all day long. Which usually isn't too bad since you spend most of the day touring Monterey. We've stayed here three times, and will certainly go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very convenient location, close to Monterey tourist sites and highways. Campground hosts are friendly and helpful. Spaces in upper paved area are narrow; hookups are at the back of the sites, I needed 20' foot of sewer hose to connect. TV reception is poor, but there is free WI-FI with strong signal strength. Ten million watt overhead lights on all night - bring blackout shades, you can read inside by these lights. All in all a good RV park with reasonable rates for the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is in a central location. It cost $12 to take a cab to Cannery Row. We decided to rent a vehicle and the Camp Host gave me a ride to get a vehicle from the airport rental lot. I was planning on riding my bicycle as it is only 1.5 miles away. We stayed on the concrete with a view of the golf course. Our rig however did get hit by a golf ball. Depending on the site you will need an extra long sewer hose. I needed 30' to make it work. The gate closes at dusk, but the host will give you the code to open the gate after dark. There is only one bath on site (one male. and one female) and I always had a brief wait for a shower. If you are coming to Monterey to see the sites, I highly recommend this site because of the central location. Site also has easy access to public buses. There were not many children, but it was real easy for the kids to bike around and play football. I think kids are welcome, but not many were here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you want to be really close to Monterey and the surrounding towns, the fairgrounds is the place to stay. However, we're talking very basic. The sites in the "upper level" are paved and "parking lot" style and straight back in. There are some sites in the grassy area and this is the area where we stayed since we did not have the experience to back into the paved sites. In the grassy area, there is some road noise from Fairground Road but it is quiet enough at night. The park is in the flight path to Monterey airport which houses private jets so mornings (6am) and evenings (5pm) were noisy with lots of planes buzzing by. We weren't in the campground in the afternoon to comment on the noise during the day. A washer and dryer were recently installed. We would stay again since we prefer the easy access to the surrounding areas not to mention the cost. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you want to visit Monterey, this is the place to stay. We were here in the winter, it might be busy in the summer. It's basically a parking lot (the sites aren't dead level but we found it tolerable without levellers) next to a golf course, with some lovely big trees shading some of the spots. Ideally located for touring - 1/2 mile to outstanding Coastal Bik Trail, and 1 block from frequent bus service. Bathrooms could have done with more frequent attention, but since we were almost the only people there we didn't complain. Quite a bit of noise from planes to-ing and fro-ing the airport, which is close by. We camped here in a Motorhome.
