Long road to nothing

This campsite is literally in the middle of some houses in the hills. The road is windy and seems to never end. Someone stole my campsite but I was able to get a different one. Weird loop of awkward pull / back in spot. Bugs every, seems like this is where the kids come to hang and drink. I only used it for a rest area to split up 13 hours of driving. Nothing special.

Not very pleasant

Campground is very high on a mountain, up a single lane dirt road. Sites had plenty of shade cover. No water, no cell service. Town of Carmel Valley is about a 45 minute drive down the mountain. Poison oak throughout the campground, even in the sites. Insects are completely overwhelming. Swarms of gnats that are on and around you constantly even with bug spray. Yellow jackets swarm anytime food is exposed. Not an enjoyable experience at all.
