GuideMonterey Pines RV Park - Military
Nice small military RV park
RVs only. No tent camping. Some sites have partial hookups and some have full hookups. This is at the edge of the Monterey Pines Golf Course. In fact you check in at the golf course office. Sites 1-14 have a view of the course. Mature shade trees, picnic tables and bbq’s in each site. No fire rings.
The bathrooms are nice and clean and have heaters! Laundry is free! Four washers and eight dryers.
As of Sept 2026 they’re actively building a new dog park.
It’s right next to a private airport and there are 2-3 planes (jets and smaller planes) taking off each hour. It stopped at 10pm and started up again at 5am. Suggest earplugs at nighttime.
Verizon service is pretty poor. They have free Wi-Fi but it didn’t reach to site 1.
Rubén D.GuidePinnacles Campground — Pinnacles National Park
Great summer getaway
The campsite was great. Ground pretty hard, so a mallet or big rock will be helpful. There’s a tree, but no shade for the picnic table. I setup a tarp and it worked great. There are no flush toilets near the campsite. The loop has portable toilets and handwashing stations.

Monterey Pines RV Park - Military
Amenities are great, Navy wives not so much.
Great park. Monthly rates are the most expensive in the country, for a military camp, but still about 2/3 of what it is off base. Watch out for golf balls, stay in spots 7-10. Whatever you do, do not let the door open and let your dog run out by accident...the Navy Knives, err Wives club is always watching. Anyway, close to all Monterey, Big Sur, Salinas, Carmel Valley. Really nice, clean Park. Bathhouses are very clean. Laundry requires quarters, but they work well. Shaded spots, so if you need Starlink stay on the east side row to point north.

Convenient spot in Santa Cruz
I came into Santa Cruz to visit family and needed a place to park my bus while there- this park was available and fit my needs perfectly. It’s a simple gravel parking lot set up - clean bathrooms / showers, full hookups. Not what I would call camping but a great place to stay with proximity to the things that matter.
Tim P.TravelerThousand Trails Morgan Hill
Great Campground
I liked this Thousand Trails resort because it’s more like camping. The staff is amazing. The facilities are great amazing big pool. The only problem I had is they didn’t have any sewage hook up, but I have a tote so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA Holiday
Great place for kids, lots to do.
Koa’s in this area are typically expensive and this is no exception. But, for families it may be worth it. Playground, jumping, bouncing area, dog yard. Lots to do. It has good shower facilities, bathrooms are clean. For retirees and older folks, it may not be worth it. Not much room between sites and lots of kids for the nervous folks. My site (35) was electric and water only with a dry creek behind us. My only beef (and it was not only with the campground, but with irresponsible dog owners) was the piles of poop I had to pick up before I could safely walk around. Come on people! If you own a dog, please take care of them and pick up after them. Otherwise, the location was convenient, the place was clean (exception noted) and I will likely return.

Guide to Soledad
Cabins near Soledad, California are located in an inland region about 25 miles east of Monterey Bay, where summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F while winter nights can drop below 40°F. This area sits in proximity to Pinnacles National Park, with most cabin accommodations positioned to provide access to both coastal mountains and inland valleys. Weather conditions vary significantly between coastal and inland cabin locations, with coastal sites experiencing more moderate temperatures and frequent fog.
What to do
Hiking at Pinnacles National Park: Located 30 minutes from Soledad, Pinnacles offers both challenging and family-friendly trails. "This is a great national park if you'd like to hike," notes Rick L. about Pinnacles Campground. The park features unique rock formations, caves, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Beach exploration: Sand Dollar Beach is accessible from several cabin locations. "Beach is fantastic for surfers and beach-goers alike. Bit of a hike down to the beach but worth it. You can also hike the fire road behind the camp group for brilliant views," shares Martin S. about Plaskett Creek Campground.
Wildlife observation: The region offers excellent opportunities to view native California species. "We had Condors above our cabin, deer around us, wild pigs crossing the roads. Its amazing!!!!" exclaims Samantha N. about her January stay at Thousand Trails San Benito.
What campers like
River access: Several cabin locations feature stream or river access for cooling off during hot months. "Great campground, tucked into the trees. Nice quiet spot right on route 1. The campground has a river running right thru the middle, our campsite was just 10 ft from the river with tubing available for rent and rope swings into the water!" reports Dennis V. about Big Sur Campground & Cabins.
Redwood settings: Many cabins are situated among towering redwoods providing natural shade. "Ventana Campground is nestled among a gorgeous Redwood forest. I stayed at campsite 38 and a small creek went right through my campground and ran off onto a small waterfall. I slept like a log every night listening to the sound of the flowing creek," writes Andre V.
Private sites: Some locations offer more secluded cabin options. "This is a fun little hideaway with a heated pool, but it still feels like camping. Bathrooms with showers, a sauna by the pool, some food all and communal fire pits/couches to lounge on... our site on the hill was breathtaking views and extremely private," shares Care B. about Saddle Mountain Ranch.
What you should know
Shower availability: Shower facilities vary widely between locations. "Bathrooms are great. "Marina Dunes has "Bathrooms and showers are great. Downside is the store is closed on Sundays. Also, $190 a night plus $20 to choose your spot is wild," reports Kandi R.
Site spacing: Many cabin locations have sites positioned close together. "You're basically camping with the people along side of you. And because there are so many close sites, the smoke from the campfires is thick," notes Allison G. about Ventana Campground.
Weather preparation: Temperatures fluctuate significantly between coastal and inland cabin sites. "It is a lot colder here than on the valley floor. Prepare for it to be 40deg colder than Gilroy or San Jose. We weren't prepared & had to drive into town & buy more clothes!" warns April N. about Mount Madonna County Park.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Several locations provide child-friendly facilities. "Lots of activities for younger kids. Convenient location, lots of amenities. Cabin was super nice to stay in after a week of car camping! Kitchenette, bathroom, hot water. Perfect," shares Tim F. about Saddle Mountain Ranch.
Pool access: During summer months, swimming facilities are valuable amenities. "There is a heated pool and various hiking trails to keep you occupied," explains Rosa L. about cabin options at Saddle Mountain.
Recreation equipment: Some cabin sites provide additional entertainment. "Foosball, ping pong, corn hole, horseshoes, and other games available. 3 gas fire pits near the office with nice space for socializing or sharing an outdoor dinner," reports Craig N.
Tips from RVers
RV cabin alternatives: Some locations offer both RV hookups and cabin options. "Typical TT resort park off the beaten path, far out but nice place, we enjoyed our stay. At the time we were there a lot of the riverfront sports were out of order," notes Tyler V. about Thousand Trails San Benito.
