Monterey County Fairgrounds

overpriced for what it is, by comparison to the world

Well, you are in California, so everything is overpriced. This is county run. This place is OK for a night-over quick stop. It is convenient to town and beaches. The facility is mostly a down and dirty gravel parking lot near a busy street although some of the spaces are paved in the upper area. They share the gravel parking lot as an event parking lot too, so you have to tangle with the gen pop parking and blocking you in possibly when there is a large event like the artichoke festival. Not ideal by a long shot, and not competitively priced for $70 per night. Oh by the way, the WIFI doesn't work for most of the giant parking lot (like oh so many other WIFIs in oh so many RV parks). No trees in the main parking area. The public airport shoots out a few jets and prop planes per hour. Noise is tolerable. Staff was very friendly. The water spigot they provided for us was spraying water all around and I had to dig down into the ground to access it and connect. Our spot number 51 backed up to some manure dumpster for the livestock area of the fairgrounds.
