monterey and carmel

I have stayed many times at Betabel and the sites are far enough away from the freeway so you don't hear the freeway. I stay in the lower part by the railway tracks and the trains are infrequent and quiet. All you hear are the wheels...no horns. It is about a 35 minute drive to Monterey but the spaces are larger and the park is quieter. Moss Landing KOA is very convenient but the spaces are somewhat tight and it is fairly expensive. Marina Dunes is another option but it is right above highway 101 and you will get the noise. November is when I go and it is a great time of year. Plus the Dungeness crab season opens on November 15th! Enjoy your trip!
