It was so great to return to our favorite RV park, in our 45' coach. Camped here many times. It is just far enough away from Carmel to be in the sun so weather is perfect. It is quiet, peaceful, and nicely landscaped. Sites are wide with 8' tall hedges between, creating privacy.
Owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure your stay meets your expectations. Owner is constantly improving the park. We especially like the stamped concrete patios on the premium sites.
Expensive, but any place around Carmel is expensive. It is well worth it in our opinion. Park is very dog friendly with a wonderful maintained grass field for dogs to play in. Park is so relaxing it is hard to motivate ones self to leave. - carguy Jul 2015 - $1.00
We were not happy with this place. The owners were rude, the spaces are very tight, there was dog poop everywhere on the green patch of lawn behind us and there is a very narrow bridge and road to get there. We will not be back, mostly because of the rude owners. - redtulip

Extremely tight road to get to this place, we have 40 foot Class A Motorhome, meeting oncoming traffic is not a good thing. Was maneuverable in the big rig, spots are tight slide outs touch the foliage dividers separating spots. We didn't use anything other than water, power and septic. Friendly staff. Had we been told about the road to get there, we would have found another place elsewhere. Seems that there are many full time residents, as traffic in and out before and after work hours was the most of the traffic. One other rig showed up in our 3 day stay. Dog friendly too! Nothing much to be entertained by at this place. We more than likely would stay again if in the area. Just be sure to reserve a spot ahead of time. Limited restrooms and two showers per sex. - C.J.

Beautiful mountain views. Closest RV/Camping/Cabin stay to Carmel and Monterey and all the attractions they hold. Clean, lots of trees and flowering plants. Communal firepit in gazebo, large pool, very nice playground, hiking trails. Friendly staff. Very quiet. Clean and nice bathrooms/showers. No rigs over 35 feet. One mile off Carmel Valley Road. The entrance narrows and is steep for the last 100 feet but you won't have a problem.
No wood burning fires, but charcoal and Duraflame logs are permitted.
You can rent a portable fire pit if you forgot yours, or if your site does not automatically come with one.
Great place for families....
LOVE the beautiful cabins. Will return to stay in those at another time. - pamelaham Sep 2016 - $70.00
Nice campground in the middle of trees and above Carmel. Has swimming pool, rest areas, badminton, bbq at each site. Looks nice! Showers are restroom are limited (one of each) and quite dirty and old. Costs quite much. - WorldTravelers

This is a nice small campground close to Carmel and Monterey with full hook-ups. To address some of the other reviews issues: The campground is tight and steep to access and stay in, but this should not be a surprise if you have researched Saddle Mountain prior to your arrival. We camped in a 30ft TT and had to move our tow vehicle to parking after we were in (not a major issue since parking was only 50ft away). The management did move campers around when they could not fit in a site. The bridge has been rebuilt to two lanes and is no longer an issue (the road is still tight as you get close to the campground). The management has also changed in the last few years and comments from 2010 or older are not relevant. The campground was very clean and the gardener / handyman kept a very neat and clean campground. The sites are very close, but everyone seemed to respect other campers and kept the noise to a minimum. The pool area was clean and provided excellent views. The bathrooms are small and you may need to adjust your schedule to use the facilities. Overall we were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed this campground after reading some of the reviews (we generally dry camp and Nation and State parks). If your unit can fit and you don't mind taking your time and getting into a small spot, this may be a good location for you. It provided a great camping spot close to Big Sur, Carmel, and Monterey. - rockwood tt family

Helpful friendly host. Entire blacktop parking area was sloped. Very difficult to get 'acceptably' level. Host offered extra ramps to help level. Bathroom was fine, just lots of flies. Bus stop was near and easy to get to the Aquarium. - Eliz Plam

I know a lot of people will gripe about this campground because, well, it's more parking lot than campground. And it's at a fairground. I'm a wilderness kind of girl, so location really matters to me. But I'm also a professional photographer - and location really matters to me. When I'm in the Monterey Bay area I like to be close to all of my favorite photography locations (not to mention good food and pubs) and this campground is the only one that fits the bill. It's centrally located, clean, very quiet, easy to navigate, has full hook-ups (a luxury for us!!), and safe as the gate is locked every night. We had no problem parking our rig and luckily, did not get hit by any golf balls. Yes, it is right next to the airport, but no, it is not loud. I am happy to give up beach access if it means I can be closer to Carmel, Asilomar, Pacific Grove, and Monterey attractions. The other campgrounds are either too far south or too far northeast for my liking. So, depending on your expectations and your needs, this is either a so-so campground or a great one. We feel it's juuuuuuusssst right. - MissCampsALot

DON'T STAY HERE. A construction company is using the fairgrounds as a staging area for a major street project. Trucks and equipment are coming and going all night long. You WILL NOT SLEEP. Not a level spot here. If you have a motorhome your front wheels will be in the air if you don't have blocks. The lower section is dirt and wood chips. A muddy mess when it rains. Dusty and dirty when it is dry. The upper section borders the golf course. Rigs are constantly getting hit by golf balls. Sites are very tight. There is a huge dip at the entrance. If your rig is low it will bottom out. This park has been neglected for many years. The fairground management does not care and will do nothing to improve it because it is the only game in town. Do yourself a favor and go 10 minutes north on Highway 1. - firsttimefulltimer

Love this RV park. Have been several times. Always find the bathrooms to be clean and staff to be very friendly. This time, however, 2 of the shower stalls were inoperable, so just had to share the one good stall with others. No problem. I'm sure it will be fixed by the time we return. - Jolacabana

We enjoyed this park. It has a woodsie feel in the middle of a well groomed golf course. Being close to the pacific, the temperature is comfortable year round. It is adjacent to the fairgrounds which is also where the Jazz festival is held. Very convenient. The staff was very helpful. We stayed on Labor Day weekend which is also the county fair. Other than a little traffic in front of the fairgrounds it had no impact on our stay. This park is due for renovation and the plans have been approved. They are waiting on the money. - LostSoulCa

This "campground" is just a parking lot on the property of a motel. The sites are very narrow and many RV's with slides on both sides will not be able open all (or any) of them. There is 30 amp electric and water hookups and a dump station on the property. However, it's right in Monterey and we had no trouble getting a site on short notice (the other two local parks were both full). It's perfectly fine for it's intended use. A place to park for a night or two while you explore Monterey. I had a hard time deciding how to rate this place and settled on a 5/10. It's a parking lot (and a small one at that) but if you're prepared for that and it's what you're looking for, there's nothing wrong with it at all. - OpenTrackRacer

This is a first come first serve campground, just outside of Monterey. It has a very forest like feel, with trees and bushes. Our site was fairly level and spacious. There were lockers outside of the shower/bath house, and it seemed to us that others who were not campground guests used these facilities. They were loud, impolite and sloppy. - Vic and Marsha

Real nice small, no hookup campground. Some sites not level. Narrow roads going in. Great location but not really walkable to tourist attractions. One of those little gems of a county or city camp ground that you sometimes run into. Good showers and a dump station. - haole hiker

Excellent CG. However, check the parks website before taking a big rig up there as the parking would be tight (21' max?). Also, the road to CG is narrow and windy. I would stay here again. - SteveE

We stayed here with our RV club during a non-race weekend. I didn't know what to expect but I liked the place very much. The good...nice large sites, very quiet at night, not crowded at all and a very good value for the money. Sites are mostly on gravel or packed dirt with water/elect only but there is a dump at the bottom of the hill. Super view of the whole valley from the sites on the hill. There is a whole section adjacent that has no hookups but there were RV's there too along with several tents. There are a lot of sites to choose from. The not so good...when we were there the water was supposedly non-potable because of higher than normal arsenic levels but it's safe to use other than drinking. Apparently during the winter it's better when the spring has more volume of water. The main issue some may have is the noise. Even on non big race weekends, there are groups still racing smaller cars so there is racing noise several hours of the day that I didn't mind but some may not like. You can walk a few yards from your site and watch the people racing. Additionally there is a shooting range across the canyon so you can hear target practice during the day. Both noises did not bother me, they get tuned out after a while but some may not like it. There is not much to do nearby but only about 1/2 hr to Monterey. - Jerry B

I called on Monday June 26th to see if I could make a reservation for my 26' travel trailer for Saturday July 1st through July 4th. I was told that reservations must be made at least 1 week in advance, even though they had over 50 sites available. I asked, "If you have that many sites open, why can't you take my reservation so I can be assured a site for my trailer?" Her reply, "I'm sorry we just don't take reservations that soon. We are taking reservations for next week only, not this week." This is a stupid policy to not be able to reserve an open site! Anyways, she proceeded to tell me that the only weekend that has ever sold out was the past Memorial Holiday weekend and that I should be fine in having a spot. I called on Friday June 30th at 4:45 and was told that there were still over 50 spots available for my size travel trailer. And yes, again they would not take a reservation unless it was 7 days out. So....Saturday we head out to Laguna Seca. Upon arrival we had to endure a very steep 16 degree climb, just to find out that there are NO available spaces that would fit my travel trailer. Also, the driveway throughout both campsites are very tight. It was frustrating experiencing the first come, first to get a site chaos as I am looking at small trailers taking up several of the larger RV sites. There were a few open sites but they were only big enough to fit a van conversion type RV, not a 26ft travel trailer. I will not ever consider staying here - reservation or not. We ended up driving about 45 minutes away to Yanks RV Resort off of Hwy. 101. - RV Joe

We came off season and the second road was closed forcing us to climb a sixteen % grade to get to the campsite. The campsites were on a hill, very small, and very difficult to get into. Although we were told the race track would be quiet, we were on curve 5 and almost everyday there was a driving school happening with lots of screeching tires. If you are a race fan, you might love it. We did not. There is also a gun range next door and the sound of guns happened most weekend mornings. Hookups are electric and water only and the dump station is very difficult to get into. The sites themselves were not clean with numerous beer caps littered throughout. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was very helpful, but we would never stay here again. We would like to thank the work kamper who let us exit via the closed road to avoid a sixteen percent grade on the way down. - Lee and Trace

This park is over priced, but it is the only game in town besides the MoCo Fairgrounds. The sites are small and narrow. Some are adjacent to the freeway. Very noisy. Lots of sewer odor throughout the park. We inadvertently logged on to the park wi-fi and were immediately hacked. We normally use our hot spot and didn't know we were on the wi-fi. I told the office clerk about this (just an FYI) and was lectured about wi-fi security. She could not care less. Real attitude. Will not stay here again. - firsttimefulltimer

We arrived 30 minutes before check in. As we walked up to the counter, the first words we heard were, "Well, you know you are 30 minutes early.". No "welcome to our campground - let's see if your site is ready" nothing polite. Then we find that we were assigned a camp site right next to the highway. Note that most of the camp sites are right next to the highway and are very loud. We specifically asked for a non highway site when we reserved the spot 6 weeks prior and were ignored. Note that the bathrooms were closed for remodeling and that temporary bathrooms were being used. We will not be back. We do not like to be ignored or treated rudely. - Maxine and Cinder

To clarify about the price, we stayed in a river site ($70) for one night and non-river ($60) for one night, plus an add-on fee of $5 apiece for each of our dogs for each night. Voila, the average was $75. Pretty pricey, like everything else in the area seemed to be, plus they all seem to tack on a dog fee because they can, while not offering anything like a fenced run for dogs. It was certainly a beautiful setting with the sites among the redwoods and very pleasant management. Restrooms/showers received very heavy use and not particularly clean. The complete lack of cell service was a nuisance and for that kind of money it seems they should at least provide Wi-Fi. There's no TV either. It is a lovely setting, of course, but a lot of money when those services are non-existent. - Puppie96
