The Santa Cruz KOA north at Costanoa is nice, but isolated. The one South in LaSelva is a really fun family destination and nice. We've camped there, but not anymoer, it is SO expensive at around $85 a night!!!! The Moss Landing Express KOA is just basically a parking lot in the Marina.

Lots of quiet in that area. Great tool for finding them

You could try the Moss Landing KOA. It's a bit pricy and the sites are a bit close together, but its about 30 minutes north of Monterrey, very clean, and very quiet. It's also big rig friendly.

Also, within walking distance is Phil's Fish Market and Phil's Snack Shack. Great seafood, and great breakfast/lunch offerings. The Snack Shack opens very early as I recall.

Why is it calledmoss landing koa EXPRESS?
Thanks

Has anyone stayed at the santa cruz koa?
Thanks

Laguna Seca Raceway has some spots, between Monterey and Salinas. Big Sur has quite a few, but mostly reservations would be needed down there. The Fairgrounds is, well, the fairgrounds.

If you don't mind driving about 30 miles, there is Pinto Lake or Mt. Madonna county Parks in Watsonville. There are a couple of state parks up that way too (Seacliff, Sunset and New Brighton).

In downtown Monterey there is Veteran's Memorial Park. No hookups, first come first serve, but close to everything.

It's a bit off the beaten path, call first to see if your rig will fit.
As I recall they have a length limit.

In Monterey, just a parking lot with hookups. Fair grounds is very convenient, but definitely not pretty or that quiet.

When we were in that area we stayed at Pinto Lake Park in Watsonville, CA. It was about 30 minutes from Monterrey. Check out the reviews on RV Park Reviews.

Small local park in a quiet area at a lower cost compared to the large RV parks in the area. It worked out very well for us!

Looked like a nice place down in Big Sur

Marina Dunes RV in Marina is a real nice park. Just a couple of miles from Pacific Grove. We have stayed there and really enjoyed the park.
