Not hard to get into
Hilltop. Narrow roads. Overpriced.
Good but too expensive
Simple campground with a decent shower and bathroom. Lots of animals around, both dogs and deer and squirrels. Played the reveille both in the evening and morning.
A bit too expensive for what you get, but a nice location
We arrived around 11 and had no problem finding a camp spot (it is first come first serve)
Nice Campground
Really nice campground in Monterey. $50 a night - max. stay 3 nights Self check in worked really well.
Location
Veteran's Memorial Park Campground is located in California
Directions
Veteran's Memorial Park may be reached by driving due west on Jefferson St. (up the hill) from the heart of Old Monterey, or by taking Highway 68 west from Highway 1 until you see a white adobe wall on the right side of the road with black letters that says "Skyline Forest". Turn right there, go to Skyline Drive and turn left. Skyline Drive will lead you right into the Park. Veteran’s Memorial Park is about 1 mile away from historic downtown Monterey. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is about 2 ½ miles from the park, and various beaches are within 2 miles. The picnic areas are reservable; call (831) 646-3865 and leave a message if nobody is available to answer. Camping sites are not reservable, but available on a first come, first served basis.
