Clean place

Really like this place. It’s not run down like many RV parks these days. Flat lots, full hook ups, even warm welcome cookie!

Gorgeous place well worth the money

Called late (5pm) and the owners were really kind over the phone and had a space for us so last minute. The games room was a lovely treat as well as the free coffee in the morning. The owners are clearly lovely people who helped us with all our hook ups as this was our first time in a campervan. Could not recommend enough :)

Very quiet, fully equipped RV park

The place is very clean and well kept. Close enough to Carmel, Monterey, ocean and parks yet quiet and secluded. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Another great stay

This was a the second time here. The park is well maintained and the staff are so friendly. Just small enough to not feel like a city and big enough for Class A motor homes. The road in can be tricky if you meet head on with another RV, but don't let that happen stop you. We will be back!

A Little Pricey But Super Nice

The road in is a bit narrow but don’t give up! You will make it without any trouble. Very nice and well managed campground with many amenities, including a shuttle. Quiet.

It’s Monterey so I don’t think their prices are out of line. I called after they closed and the manager answered and was able to get me in a space, which I really appreciated.

Maiden Voyage

Pricey, but worth it. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The campground was very clean, and quiet! Every camper I met was very pleasant. I would absolutely go again!!

Yes they have 30 amp service.

Unless you’re driving a sports car, definitely DO NOT drive on Lorales Grade! It’s a narrow, windy, dark road with a 17% grade. It is well worth driving around, you can thank me later.

Ok park, but expensive

This park is nice and clean, but don’t let the name fool you into thinking you can take a nice hike along the river. You cannot access the river at all. You cannot really even see it.

There’s nothing within walking distance at all.

The pet area is also a play area for kids, so beware.

Definitely overpriced for what it offers.

Tight road in but nice

Nice for an RV Park. Had nice hedges between the sites. Steep price ($95-$105/night) but I suppose everything is expensive in Carmel. Note that the road in is basically a one lane road. Pray you don’t encounter oncoming traffic.
