Saddle Mountain offers a charming camping experience with well-maintained facilities and a warm, welcoming staff. The site is beautifully located with easy access to Carmel Valley and the surrounding natural attractions. Most visitors appreciate the clean amenities, although some find the sites a bit too close for comfort. A few campers had challenges with site navigation and privacy, but overall, the atmosphere is peaceful and family-friendly.

Good location, not all spots equal

19 ft campervan ·

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The hosting staff was very accommodating and friendly. The facilities were clean and well kept. With that said, there was some additional information during the booking process that would have been helpful to ensure a more enjoyable stay, though. We initially booked a partial hookup spot and was later told this was not available so we agreed to take a drive-in tent/van site as we were booking fairly last minute. Navigating these particular spots was not easy in our van. There is a fairly steep incline and narrow turns with some spots - definitely easier to navigate during daylight. We were also in spot 37 - this caused several issues with our “neighbors” in 36 because there is no way in or out without 36 moving their vehicle. Set-up is weird and guests should be made aware of this. We were lucky that our neighbors came in after us and were leaving before us otherwise there would have been disruption anytime someone needed to move. We also felt weird walking through their camp every time we went to the facilities or for a hike, etc.

Lovely view, hot shower, nice trail with flowers in bloom, quiet spot out of the way. Yet close to the Big Sur Marathon finish. More than I was hoping for. Just with the bathroom had been a bit closer, and the rain a little lighter.

Lovely stay

Tent ·

It was welcoming to be greeted by a warm smile when I checked in. I was camping using my tent, but other options seem to more convenient. However, my favorite part was the mountains, trees everywhere and the smell of fresh air. In addition, this place is in close proximity to one of my favorite spots - Carmel by the Sea so I had to stop there before I went back home.

Good overall customer service and location. We just don't enjoy the packed quarters. The RVs are just too close together to be relaxing. Loved the pool area, great for laying in the sun and reading a book. Hike up the hill into the woods and really enjoy the beautiful setting.

Site 29 was close to the bathrooms and the hiking trail. We liked being able to take the dogs with us. There's a lot of poison oak and poison hemlock right off the trail. It's ok as long as you keep your dog on a 5'-6' leash.

Overall a great little campground. We loved our site #37, we arrived late and the campground personnel were very accommodating in letting us switch from a site just above where our car and tent would not have fit. We like the little amenities that felt like luxuries when you are used to camping or backpacking. Like hot water at the bathrooms for hand washing and dishes , hot showers that were very nice and good pressure, and Reverse Osmosis drinking water. Our 3 yo twins enjoyed the playground! It is steep and took some watching to keep our I Kiddos away from the edges in the campsite. I wish early in the season that they allowed campfires, there is something quite soulless about having to burn a duralog, and i wish their staff cleaned the bathroom at a time other than mid morning when the bathrooms are in high demand. We enjoyed access to carmel, beaches, big sur, flower farm down the road, monterey and aquarium! We had a lovely week of camping and adventures!

Saddle Mountain was great! We camped at one of the regular campsites, and it was just like a public campground except for the awesome amenities. It was so nice to have an area to do dishes, shower, and hang out. We loved the sauna and propane firepits too! Plus all of the games and fun things you could borrow. 10/10 would recommend!

Cozy Cabin 10 called "Garland Ranch

We had such a lovely stay!! Beautiful location, the staff were super friendly, and everything on site was very clean, calm, quiet, and peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the hot shower facilities, sitting by the pool next to the gas fire pits, and our tent. Will absolutely stay again for a premium quality experience!

Very nice place, steeply laid out so it’s a bit of a challenge to get around, but would definitely return

Cozy Cabin 9 called "Cypress Point"

The walk in campsite don’t have much of a view at all (at least ours, site 42, did not) but we loved the communal fireplace & games available.

This was the best little cabin glamping ever. 5 of us ate, played games, slept well and relaxed in the hills of Carmel. We had no neighbors which made it feel like our own little mountain paradise. Clean public bathrooms, our cabin was so cozy too. Early morning rain made sleeping quite delightful. We’ll be back

Enchanting Relaxing Spectacular!

24 ft Class C · With pets ·

Saddle Mountain is probably one of the best if not the best campground we’ve stayed at (and we’ve stayed in many). Every space has privacy but also greenery, and even the fact that the whole campsite is set on the hilly side of a mountain gives an extra sense of space and seclusion. Check-in was easy and the amenities are superb. Even though we were in a full-hookup RV, we really appreciated that there’s such a variety of sites offered here - everything from car camping to tent camping to tent glamping with private fenced in yards, all spaces come with fire pits and grills no matter what your particular space is. There’s also clean public bathrooms, showers, handwashing stations, a full fenced in playground, and a large pool/spa/sauna situation. Our favorite was being able to walk to the end of the campground and go right into a private 4 mile loop hike up the mountain for some gorgeous views. We would absolutely stay here again, whether it’s on our own in a Class C with our dog, or with a large group of family and friends. We only wish there were more places like Saddle Mountain around!

Tent setup and amenities were everything we needed them to be! Staff was super friendly when we got in. Didn’t have any issues with noise (we were in the last tent down the road) and didn’t mind the short walk to the bathroom. Enjoyed using the sauna in the morning - it didn’t get too hot but we still got a decent sweat in! The zippers on the tent were a little beaten up but otherwise everything was great.

The staff were friendly, facilities were nice, and good location, central to the Carmel Valley and Carmel by the Sea areas. It was easy to camp there with our small dog too.

Nice place but….

Luxury Tent

The receptionist told us that the zipper of the luxury tent was broken, but we didn’t expect to sleep with our tent open. It was windy, and cold air came in, so we didn’t feel completely safe.

Easy check-in, quiet spot - never saw or heard another person, and tent just close enough to facilities. Nice showers and cozy, clean tent, heated blankets, and bonus - sauna!
