RV Site Full Hookups - 30ft & Under

Winter is a nice time to be here

There were quite a few guests when I stayed over the weekend, but it was overall pretty quiet. I stayed in my class B camper during a weekend in early January Pros: Beautiful campground, reasonable prices, nice places to lounge and enjoy the space, lots of trees!!!!! and friendly service, nice hiking trail available to use, sauna was a nice plus. Nice location close to Carmel and Carmel Valley Village. Felt very safe and inviting. Dish washing area was very convenient. Cons: I would not say that the campsites are private at all. The wifi was poor even though I was close to the office - forget using it. I tethered from my phone. The bathroom has one toilet and one shower. I wonder how that works in the summer. The shower has very low water pressure and the temperature mixer is very sensitive - you have to be careful moving the dial too far. Would be nice if soap and shampoo was available, but there's not. I would like to come back again yet this winter if timing allows. It was a good place to catch up on some much needed rest.

Drive-in Tent/Van Site

Unusual Camping Experience.

My experience at Saddel Mountain in Carmel was quite an experience. I was camping during the big storm in the area and had a tree limb come down on my camper. It damaged the roof considerably, causing a leak into the living space. The staff at this facility were amazing. They took immediate action and helped patch the roof of my camper. I am forever grateful !! The campgrounds are in a beautiful scenic area of the Carmel Valley. The facility was very clean and comfortable. I will be returning to this spot again.

Partial Hookups Tent Site W/E

Beautiful spot in the Carmel Valley with easy access to Monterey and Carmel. The partial hookup spot was perfect for our rented sprinter van and the facilities (bathrooms, showers, etc) were clean and comfortable.

Luxury Tent - Pet Friendly

The tent was cute and clean, and we appreciated the flexibility with self check in as we got caught in the rain. The heated blanket, fire pit, and sauna were great amenities for the cold weather, and bathrooms were well maintained. Overall great stay!
