Rating: 8 4 6 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The sites are roomy, basically this is a big, dirt parking lot with pedestals for electric (30 & 50 amp) and water. No pump out at sites but there is a dump station for $5.00. No bathrooms or showers here. Good location for visiting Monterey and Carmel. Easy to maneuver in our 45' RV. Would stay here again for sure. I would give a higher rating if there was grass or gravel at the sites but with this dry climate dirt flies everywhere!! - SNL
We pulled into the parking area and thought we were at an RV Storage facility. The camping fee is scheduled to go up to $25 on August 1 and it does not include the dump fee. Parking area is in need of care and tables at campsites are in dismal shape. The camp host is friendly and the location is convenient to the freeway and town, but this is not a place we'd want to stay here for more an overnight stop. - hbcamper

Rating: 8 3 9 6 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We were leery of staying at a campground that is remote. Closest grocery store is 25 minutes away, but it's really nice here. The park has recently upgraded one section with 50 amp hookups. We especially enjoyed all the wildlife. We spotted acorn woodpeckers, yellow-billed magpies, quail, western bluebirds, scrub jays, morning doves, an occasional hawk. Also California ground squirrels, wild pigs, deer, a fox and her cubs, and a bobcat. Tree frogs at night sing in loud chorus. All this in a spacious campsite with friendly neighbors and sunsets (usually undramatic but still marking the end of another day) over the mountains. This is an older campground and shows some wear and tear around the edges. The grounds could be better maintained (Grass cut, trees trimmed, etc), but the staff is friendly and it's a great place to spend some time if you're looking for a remote, quiet campground, dark sky at night, and beautiful vistas. - Miles and Smiles
First, I am a thousand Trail member so the cost was $0.00. Let's touch on positives first: The staff were friendly and receptive to when you inquired about the park. I had a leaky water bib which they came to repair shortly after reporting it. A county store was on site otherwise the closest store is about 8 miles away. The area is beautiful and there is an abundance of wildlife, squirrels, rabbits, woodpeckers, boars, deer, bobcat, fox and I am sure there are others, those are just ones that we saw. Now for the not so good: The roads are tight with large traffic bumps in the attempt to keep people from going over 5mph. A good number of the sites are tight and hard to get into and out of as the parked cars encroach into the road. The sites are weeds, stickers, and not level. The sewer hookup is hidden in the weeds and hard to find. The roads are all rock and dirt and every car and truck that go by ensures your home and vehicle are covered with dust. The dog park is large and free of stickers but has many holes from ground squirrels and the annuals take an inordinate amount of time with their large dogs that they do not control if and when they harass or worse to a small dog. The park is the only place you can take your dog within the campground and be pretty sure they will not come back with matted hair from the stickers. The path in and out of the park is very steep and windy, luckily it is only about a third of a mile long. This park is very isolated and ATT cell is nonexistent and Verizon barely operates. We got no channels on over the air TV, but some did receive two or three. There are a number of people, who I assume are Thousand Trail members, that travel every three weeks back and forth from this campground and the one up north in Morgan Hill. I can state we will not travel back to this park. There is a lot of nature, so get out and walk the park and the nature trail they have. - TekManiac
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Thousand Trails - San Benito Preserve »Typical TT park. The rangers were very friendly and helpful. They did ask us to show our insurance and registration on our truck and trailer before they would let us enter. I've never had that before. We paid $5 extra per night for 50 amp. The sites are close together but the park wasn't full so we did not have anyone on one side of us while we were there. The sites are grass and fairly level. It is fairly easy to maneuver through the park. There are a lot of trees which is nice for the shade but they need to be trimmed because most on the sites would scratch your roof. Verizon had limited cell service in the park. AT&T had no cell service. You have the option of buying wi-fi at your campsite for $10 for 5 days and it works extremely well. But, it is suppose to be for 1 user at a time. However, my husband and I were able to use it on our phones at the same time. Go figure. It is a great park if you just want to kick back and camp because it isn't close to anything. - Liz in Texas

Rating: 10 10 10 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is an up scale RV Park. Office personnel are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Employees clean each site as they are vacated. The only draw back is the wind. After 1PM the intensifies so make sure you get your awnings rolled in. We stayed here in a class A motor home. - Dave 0743
I hosted a camping group, Los Viajaros, for our 4-day stay. Staff was very helpful and made every effort to make us feel welcome. We have rebooked for next year. We had 10 rigs and they did extend a discount for our stay. They have plans for expansion, the club is well equipped with a professional kitchen and plenty of tables and chairs. Easy drive to get there and several wineries and a national park close by. Thanks to All. - Dave-G

They were further away than I realized, but that was my own fault for not researching better. There isn’t really anything near this park & it was very windy. Apparently, it always is. However, we loved this park. Very nice amenities & very clean. Would definitely stay here again. - Nana Jane

Rating: 9 8 8 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We had an electric site. It was a beautiful area. Nice and quiet and relaxing. The hosts were very nice. The restrooms were always clean. We got in some awesome hikes between the rain storms. A truly nice National Park to visit that a lot of people probably miss. It's not big but it offers a lot (Cave hikes, etc.). We even got to see the condors! - Moseyin
We stayed in site 102 which backed to the main road. This was not a problem as the road is only frequented by visitors to the National Park. We saw wild turkeys, deer, coyotes and rabbits. The site was mostly level gravel and dirt with some tree coverage. 30 amp power was conveniently located and worked well. We had no cell service on Verizon or ATT, and no OTA television. The picnic table was in good shape. The firepit was extra deep so difficult to see fire when sitting. Firewood was available at store for $12/bundle. Campground is large so plenty of room for walking dogs. Nighttime temperatures were mid 20s and days warmed to low 50s. - bbmidwife
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Pinnacles Campground »I have a 35' motor home pulling a tow vehicle. I made my reservation on line and gave that information. When I arrived and checked in the person at the check in desk checked me in and gave me directions to my campsite. As I followed the directions I found myself in the tent camping area and wasn't sure I was going to be able to get out of the area without damaging my motor home and tow vehicle. I made it back to the front desk and explained I have a motor home and not a tent. Fortunately they had some campsites in the motor home section that were still available. They gave me a choice of several and let me choose the one that worked best for me. After that everything went fine. So warning the on line camp reservation system is not the best. The campsite was 35' long but there was no way I could camp there. Might be better to call for a reservation. - JLT

Rating: 4 6 6 8 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The new name for this park is "Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca." Access for a big rig is tight, the roads are narrow and very steep (in one place, 16% grade). Our site was listed as "Premier." Not so much, in my opinion. There is electricity and water. No sewer so you have to be careful about the capacity of your holding tanks. This is an old park with a lot of big trees and is not configured for big rigs. The sites are dirt and dust, short and sloped downhill. Bring chocks and wood for shoring, lots of it, if you want to be level. Our dualies were off the ground if we wanted to be level so we just used some boards and lived with not being level, instead. If you are here for the races, I guess it's worth it, but this is severely rustic camping. - Linda dlm
Park is divided into 3 or more small campgrounds. Most sites have water and electricity. Some sites are very close together. A fair amount of vehicle traffic because of the raceway, but that would be expected. Some noise from a gun range next door. Only one dump station for the entire area that is facing downhill. Entry and exit into some campgrounds and dump area are fairly tight. May be a challenge with a large rig. - Fyrflie1
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Laguna Seca Recreation Area »We have stayed here before with a 36' 5th wheel, but this was our first time in our 43' tag axle MH. The entry road is steep but perfectly possible to navigate. The roads in the campground loops are more difficult to navigate. There are lots of trees that are now overgrown and need trimming, the roadways are narrow, and there are numerous obstacles and drop-offs waiting for you if you don't pay attention. Many of the sites that are reasonably accessible for a 40'+ Class A are not level. I had to level manually and leave the coach slightly rear-down to prevent the rear tires from being lifted off the ground (a big safety no-no because of the parking brake) Apparently there is now a problem with the old water pipes in the campground, causing the arsenic levels to exceed the federal standard for potable water. Between the overgrown trees, narrow roads, and now non-potable water, we won't be back. It's too bad because it's really quiet here at night and the starry skies are beautiful. - 45 ACP

Rating: 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Bolado Park »We had a great stay at this park, found it by chance because it wasn't listed on RVparkreviews yet. This is a county fairgrounds and event center, but they have 38 RV sites set up throughout the property that are available all year, except for a few weeks during events. The sites 1-11 are up front and are located in what is otherwise a normal car parking lot. However, the sites are spaced out reasonably, plenty of room for slides and a comfortable distance from your neighbor. There is no screening at all though since you are in a parking lot, so that's what to expect. These sites also have 20/30/50 amp power, water, and sewer. We found the location to be a great alternative to staying in Pinnacles NP campground which was more expensive and provided no water or sewer. The NP is less than 30 minutes drive from this campground. The location is also less than 10 miles from Hollister which has grocery stores, restaurants, Target, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful when we called to set our reservation. Utilities were fine during our week stay - power was strong, water pressure and flow were good. No wifi is available, but Verizon LTE is VERY strong here with no help of antennas. AT&T is also strong but 4G only even with our roof antenna. Site is in a parking lot, so asphalt paved and very level. Utilities located off edge of pavement to the rear of the back-in space. Very quiet area as long as there are no events at the fairgrounds. Locked gate at 7pm - RV guests are provided a gate key. Not sure the gate is that necessary, the area seems very low-key and safe. Plenty of parking for the toad since it is just a big parking lot. There is no pool or playground or anything else that you might find in a more standard RV park or resort - so if that is your thing you may want to keep looking. Also, this would be a campground for RVs only - there are no external restrooms or other facilities for campers to use. - leemhicks

Rating: 8 10 8 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We spent four nights at Saddle Mountain and really enjoyed it. This is a small park and sites are close together but the views are beautiful. It is up on a hillside looking out over the Carmel Valley. We enjoyed sitting out by their sparkling pool. There is a playground, comfortable fire area and badminton. This park is not for the very large rigs but if you are in the area, we highly recommend it. - Tinas
We stayed 2 nights, it was a very beautiful location, clean and well maintained; they assigned us a spot and we asked for a different one and they were very accommodating in allowing us the change. We enjoyed our stay very much and would come back again. - TNDYoung
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Saddle Mountain Ranch Campground »This RV park is a hidden gem in the foothills above Carmel. It's a 5 minute drive up the gentle hill from Hwy 101. The park has a "communal" feel with multiple gazebos with gas fire pits and comfortable seating. They have a huge swimming pool which I am sure is enjoyed in the summer. There is no wood burning at the camp sites, but I really enjoyed meeting other campers by the fire pit. The staff is amazing. Great people that make sure your stay is comfortable. The sites are good size and the roads in and out are good. When you are driving up the gentle mountain it is "one way" so you don't run into other trailers coming down. When you are driving into the campground, you will be in a rural area of horse farms. Gorgeous views of the mountains and stars so bright at night it was crazy. This campground is exceptionally "quiet" at night and very peaceful. It was full when we were there and there were kids and dogs. But at about 9:00 pm you would never know there was anyone there but you. The park is really clean and has lot's of trails to hike. It is located less than 5 minutes from grocery stores, Starbucks, etc. I would highly recommend this RV park and look forward to going back. - Gypsy Nomads

Rating: 7 9 10 5 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Well run little park in Carmel Valley. We had the best site in the park according to the owner, but it was also very expensive. $124 per night if paid in cash or $134 if using credit. It fit our 41 ft 5th wheel and had parking for the F350 in front. The site had a brick patio with chaise lounges, a gas BBQ, and a gas fire pit and full hookups. All sites are back-in, with little room left for parking the TV or toad. Monterey and Carmel by the sea are within 15 minutes from the park. Access to the park is via a one lane rural road with a couple of tight turns and low tree branches. It can be problematic if you meet traffic headed in the opposite direction. If you are coming from the south up the 101 and then 68, do not follow your GPS directions to take Laureles Grade. It is a two lane mountain pass road not recommended for vehicles with trailers. Stay on the 68 to the 1 and then south to Carmel Valley Road. The park's Wifi was slow but AT&T had a strong signal and we had no problem streaming shows using our hotspot. - corgi1
A great little park, well worth the narrow, wiggly access road. large, level site, bordered by lemon trees. Large, level back in site with room to park my toad. Would stay again if in the area. The town of Carmel by the Sea for great restaurants and shopping is just s few minutes away by car. - Al Hrycyk

Rating: 3 4 7 8 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Served our purpose, when needed a layover to get car repairs done. Just a parking lot with hookups, but no issues with the power or the water. Standard tire damage spikes at exit, but set in deep ditch. Beware you don't hit it to hard. We bottomed out the 1st time. Mgmt was helpful & accommodating to our need for adjacent site. - gs2rt
This is a very tired KOA property. The bathrooms are outdated (there are signs saying they're going to be remodeled), none of the doors in the women's restroom locked or latched. The back-in entry was uneven and even though our rig is only 25 feet, we scraped the bottom getting in because of that, plus the spaces were right on top of each other with no room in between. The internet was pretty much non existent and when I mentioned it the next day they said it was out last night but good today, it was not and this was mid-day when it's doubtful others were streaming movies. Aside from the substandard internet, my other biggest complaint would be that they have roosters and chickens wandering around the campsites and they start crowing WAY before sun-up (4:00am). Ridiculous! We stayed here because of the proximity to the Salinas Sports Complex but we would not stay here again. I realize not all KOA's are equal, but this was a real disappointment. - Cinzia
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Salinas / Monterey KOA »We stayed here because it was convenient to Monterey and Pinnacles National Park. We were in a section with units positioned to pull in from opposite ends so we shared connection locations. The space was rather tight and almost all asphalt. Unlike other spots, since we faced our neighbors, it wasn't very private. The bathrooms need upgrading and management says they are planning that. The laundry was great. Wi-Fi was not usable but Verizon 4G was fine. It served our purpose for the location but not really that pleasant. They said they are upgrading the power which is needed as we lost power the last night. The entry driveway is a tight turn and steep so follow their directions if you have a big rig. We were close to the 101 highway so noisy. Like many RV parks today, there were a number of permanent or semi-permanent residents. - bdornbush
