Bring your RV to Salinas for easy access to Pinnacles and Monterey Bay attractions.
A short drive inland from Monterey, Salinas is a good option for campers who want easy access to Monterey Bay attractions as well as nearby nature spots like Pinnacles National Park. While RV camping is available at Pinnacles, it does fill up quickly. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives in the area. Campers can park RVs up to 25 feet in length at Fremont Peak State Park, or take advantage of coastal RV camping options with showers and picnic tables at Sunset Beach State Park or Manresa State Beach (closed to RV camping from May through October). If you'd prefer a low-key stay, you'll find private RV camping just north of Salinas along Highway 101, including plenty of quiet Hipcamps on farms that welcome just one group at a time for extra serenity.
