We stayed in the Chaparral camp area in a hookup site (No. 40), which had water and electric, for $30 per night. Our site was a gravel spot, fairly narrow (not a lot of room under our awning), surrounded by weeds and trees overlooking the race track. It was a large site - at least 50 feet deep - but I would have been very disappointed if I had the spot next to us, which was literally a gravel parking spot. The grade to the campground is very steep (16%) and the roads are fairly narrow. There is really nothing to do at the campground, but you are only 8 miles from the Aquarium and Cannery Row. I would prefer to stay at Marina Dunes RV Park which was a little nicer, had full hookups, closer to town, and more facilities (laundry, etc.). If you want to watch a race from your campsite, then this is a good place to go. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very cool being next to the race track. You can go just about anywhere as long as you do not pass the spectator fence. Great views, very clean, friendly staff, and shade trees. Easy access to Hwy 68 (Monerey-Salinas Hwy). We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice park about 7 miles east of Monterey, next to a race track. Very narrow roads within the park and 16% grade to get up there. Beautiful views of valley. Gravel fairly level sites. No SEWER. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Laguna Seca Rec. Area has 2 campgrounds with electric and water hook-ups. The larger of the 2 is directly to the left when entering thru the pay station and the other is to the right a little farther up. This rec area has a pistol/ rifle range away from the campgrounds and the race track (road Course) which is very close to the campgrounds where you can watch the cars on the track. I think the quieter of the 2 is the larger campground on the left near the back of the loop. The track is very busy most of the time with a driving school so if you don’t want the noise, this isn’t for you if you just want to sit outside and read. The sites come in various spur lengths and there is room for slides and an awning. The water pressure was great and we had no problems with the electrical. There is a dump station with one sewage drain. We chose this area since it was centrally located to Pt. Lobos, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel Mission, and the shops and restaurants of Carmel…. At night is was very quiet and you can hear the owls hooting at each other. Reservations are accepted for a $5.00 fee. Hook-up sites are $30.00, with a $2.00 discount if over 62. Non hookups are $22.00. We would return again but only during mid week when it’s quieter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
