I'm looking for suggestions on a clean, quiet campground around Monterey Ca. Within 15-20 miles. Just the wife & myself, no pets. I'm driving a 36" class A towing a HHR. Looking for all the typical amenities, Wi-Fi, etc. I would consider just full hookups as a option at the right park. Any suggestion's would be appreciated. We plan on being in the area around the 12th-19th of Sept. Other than the aqarium, what attractions would be worth seeing. I'm not interested in going north to the bay area. Wireman

We stayed at the Marina dunes RV park just north of Monterey. Really nice park but a little pricey.I would suggest checking out Point Lobos State Reserve, 17 mile drive around Pebble Beach, and also the a town of Carmel while in the area. A drive south thru Big Sir would also be worth the time.

Monterey county fairgrounds in town, but has steep driveway going in.Betabel farther away...on the 101.KOA moss landing....The town of Pacific Grove is great to walk around and view the shops..Check RV Park Reviews.....Monterey area for RV Park reviews

KOA Salinas/MontereyVery nice we stayed there a week, Moss Landing KOA was what I would call a parking lot with a high fence around it

Hey, Murrieta! We retired out of Temecula! We spent a couple of weeks at Betabel RV Park located just off of 101 between Salinas and Gilroy a year ago today! Very nice park. (We prefer the older section with trees, but none interfered with satellite reception.). Easy drive over to the coast. We drove through other parks closer to the coast, including many previously mentioned. Betabel is still our first choice. I believe Marina was the park where many of the RV sites also had another tent site located at the back of the RV site. Wrong! The RV park's entrance at Laguna Seca was lawsuit STEEP! We don't use KOA's but we had used the one at Moss Landing when it first opened and was not KOA. Off season, when the rates drop substantially, and when the park should be less used, it would be fine. When full, as reviewers have stated, you are pretty well packed in. We may well be back at Betabel the last week in Sept.One of the coolest things we did was to drive the dinghy north to Felton and take the Roaring Camp train ride. Henry Cowell State Redwoods Park is right next to it - park there for both.

We've stayed at Marina Dunes and Betabel. We're at Marina Dunes for the next two days

Mount Madonna in Watsonville has water/electric sites. Veterans Memorial Park in Monterey has no hookups but is right in Monterey up on a hill in a nice park. The Fairgrounds has hook ups I believe. Marina Dunes has all ameneties, and I believe Laguna Seca has electricity and water at a few sites (REALLY steep hill getting up to it).

Pinto Lake in Watsonville also has hookups, it's not that well known. http://www.pintolakepark.com/Level2/rv-camping.html

I stayed at Laguna Seca last year - the entrance is steep at 16% grade, but I was pulling my Camry in my 31ft class C and had no issues. I took a picture of the 16% grade sign on my way out. The park was decent - hard packed gravel/dirt sites, but they had electric and water with a dump site at the location. I stayed when there was no races so it was really quiet - except there is a gun range down behind the campground I was in. They were quite for the most part.
