Any One Been to Pebble Beach and Camped?

I'm planning to go to Pebble Beach to play that once in a lifetime round all us golfers dream of. I was told that you must stay in one of Pebble Beach's hotels before you're allowed to play the course. Is this true? If not could someone advise location of an rv campground close to PB? Oh yeah, DW prefers full h'ups if available. Thanks

No this is not true. Staying in a Pebble Beach Lodge affords you the privilege of reserving a tee time more than 24 hours in advance (for the Pebble Beach Links anyways.....) The other courses allow a slightly larger window for non-resort guests, but not much.

If you want to play The Links, just call VERY early in the AM (think like 0700 hours) and reserve a spot for the next day. If you try for a mid-week spot, you should have much greater luck.

After your round, I would suggest skipping lunch/dinner at The Lodge and head over to Spanish Bay for drinks at sunset. There is a bagpiper that plays on the nearby hillsides to send the sun off for the evening. The outdoor veranda is nice and cozy and it's quite the experience.

Have your wallet ready, but I'm sure you already know that.....

As far as places to RV, we typically stay at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Not the greatest or most scenic place in the area, but certainly the least expensive and plenty close to Pebble.

FHU but the sewer connection is a bit funky in some spots (read the reviews)
