We stayed 28 nights and were sad to leave. Management was organized, professional and very communicative. Rules are defined and understandable given the space is shared with a golf course. Camp Host is outstanding!!!!! She is knowledgeable of the local area, always available, and very handy. I accidentally locked us out of our camper and she was to our rescue with all the right tools and willingness to help. I was very thankful we ended up in spot 15 because of our proximity to Camp Host. Spot 15 is also right across from the bath house and laundry. Both facilities are clean and the laundry has 4 W/D's that are free. Spot 15 has two trees at the back of the slab distanced perfectly apart to hang a hammock between. Make sure you have leveling blocks because many of the concrete slabs aren't level. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the proximity to everything in Monterey without having to drive. Monterey Fairgrounds are next to the golf course and host Drive In movies through the summer weekends. While being at the end of the MRY runway may bother some, we enjoyed watching and hearing the air traffic. read more

I love being a military veteran and I love staying at the Monterey Pines RV park, but.... As others have mentioned in the reviews, 0 stars for management, 4 stars for campground. I'm not writing this review to be intentionally mean or negative. I just want the management to take some responsibility and improve their system. We have stayed at the Monterey Pines RV Park numerous times over the years. It's a great place to stay, but making a reservation and checking in is the most inefficient and frustrating experience ever, and the whole process needs an upgrade. First you make a reservation through the DOD Lodging website, which only allows you to select either full hook-ups, or partial hook-ups. It doesn't allow you to select a spot number. Then you will receive an email from Navy Gateways, not Monterey Pines, indicating that you have made a reservation, but it doesn't provide you a spot number. The RV Park is located at the Monterey Pines Golf Course. If your a first time visitor, and you arrive after hours, there is a locked gate, so this will be an issue when you arrive. For us, we have visited many times over the years. We know the code, so it's not a problem. And actually the gate has been broken over the past year, or more, so it's still not a problem. Ah, but there's a code for the bathroom as well. In the past we used to receive an email from the Monterey Pines RV Park, providing all the check in information. This is no longer the case. We now have to call them directly. However, we have found that when we call the Monterey Pines RV Park, the call typically goes to voice mail, and then they never return the call. Your best option is to arrive during normal business hours, and hope that somebody is in the office. The last time we visited, the office was empty, so we just picked a spot and hoped for the best. There used to be a campground host to help people check-in, but that position has been vacated. My message to management. Please make efforts to fix/improve the Monterey Pines RV Park Reservation/Check-in process. Create a database so that returning customers don't have to initial and sign 5 pages of redundant paperwork every time they visit. E-mail the customer the important check-in information, such as their spot number, gate codes, bathrooms codes, etc. This should be a common procedure and would greatly help those arriving after normal business hours. Please fix the broken access gate. Our military personnel and their families deserve the extra security. Please do away with the $1 pet fee per night. It's unnecessary and ridiculous! I would also suggest that the bathrooms not be cleaned from 9 - 10:30am every morning. Pick a later time of day to clean them. This is a big inconvenience for those without trailers, meaning the bathrooms are completely off limits until they are finished cleaning. Yes, I enjoy the clean bathrooms, but I also like to use them first thing in the morning. So to everyone out there planning on visiting the Monterey Pines RV Park, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay once you get there, but good luck with the reservation/check-in process. Prices have doubled over the last ten years, but the level of customer service has decreased by a proportional amount. I will gladly change this to a 5 star review, but not until I see some changes. read more

Our favorite place to stay in Monterey. It's mostly quiet (minus airport activity), routinely patrolled by Navy Law Enforcement, easy access to golf and other activities within the area. read more

Absolute perfect place for us! I love that it is gated. The camp host was so nice, my kiddo loved her. Nice and quiet in our opinion despite being right by the airport. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. The entire camp site was well maintained. You can turn on the furnace which heats up the shower areas really well. Washers and dryers on site was a plus. Dog friendly. We will definitely return when we visit back home again. read more

OK this is how it goes. I made a reservation on February 18, 2025 for the days of August 14, 2025 through August 18, 2025, and somehow my my reservations were canceled I didn't cancel them and I've been trying to get a hold of the front office there and got the hold. Nobody answers their phone over there or return to voicemail. Terrible customer service, and I was billed so I'd like to know where my refund is. read more

Pros: It's in the center of city with close proximity to Pacific Grove and Carmel. Walking distance to the golf course if that's your thing. The bathrooms are very clean and the laundry machines are free. Cons: noise: commercial airlines start departing from behind the campground starting at 5 a.m and ending around midnight. Very loud jet engines and if you are a light sleeper, this would be a deal breaker. There was jack hammering behind some campsites at 6 a.m one morning. Mowers start mowing the green 5-6 a.m. 2-3 days a week. Our toddler hardly slept and we were so sleep deprived. We were told mowers come to mow our "grass" i.e. weeds on Wednesdays and to have everything off the dirt that day. We moved our fire pit, chairs, but never saw a mower that week. The sites are newly paved but extremely unlevel. The front of our motorhome was jacked so high and wobbly, but still not completely level. The water pressure was very low (not an issue with our RV) we needed to go to the bathrooms to take a decent shower and get the soap out of our hair. read more

Great location, awesome facilities and close by all the good stops. Only con is the loud aircraft. Would camp there again.

The site is beautiful but Rosalie is SOO rude and unhelpful. I would give this place 4 stars but being forced to speak with Rosalie in order to get a reservation is the worst. She is so mean and just absolutely unpleasant to work with. I really wish that they would look at bringing someone on with better customer service skills and someone that knows how to talk to/treat people. Outside of Rosalie, the camp host is lovely - so welcoming and friendly. The location is next to an airport and golf course but still beautiful! read more

Monterey Pines RV Park - RV Parks Near Me - Monterey, California

This RV park definitely needs it's own listing and should not be combined with the golf course at Monterey Pines. They are definitely two different things. You enter thru the golf entrance and the lush green grasses but drive around it to the RV park. We have stayed here a couple of times in the past. The bathrooms are spotless. The laundry is well taken care of and there's even a grill onsite. The sites vary from nice 40' sites to much smaller sites. Trees are abundant but can make satellite reception a big pain. Availability of these sites is online and there is an 800# to book the sites. We knew from past experience that we wanted a 40' back-in because those sites were on the south side with open skies for the satellite TV reception. After checking several times a day for a 40' site to become available, one finally was open. I called and made reservations for 3 nights for that specific site. However, that didn't mean my reservation was honored. About an hour out of arriving I received a call from the office indicating she was moving us because we weren't 40' and someone (after us) needed that site! What?? We were given a much, much smaller site and our credit card had already been charged!!! It was a weekend and you can imagine how difficult getting another spot at the beach in California would be over the weekend --- impossible. So, we jack knifed into the site given us -- probably the most difficult site we've ever pulled into. Upon checking in, prepare yourself for a lecture of the rules. We're all used to rules but this was a little ridiculous. Once away from office staff, we found the camp host super nice. She was friendly and helpful. Maintenance staff was also friendly. We do like the park. The location is fabulous but not so sure we would trust office staff to honor our booking in the future. read more

I stayed in a site away from the race track. Lovely experience! I had a fire ring, which was a pleasant experience. Water hook up was non-potable, so I did not hook up. read more

The staff is doing what they can with an aged RV Park Infrastructure. The power lines are buried without conduit. One site is closed due to power failure and some other sites have had piecemeal electrical work done such as GFI replacement to keep them operational. They also offer 20A and 30A service only and some rigs plug in 50A systems and are on their honor to be safe. Most sites have concrete pads, all of these are back in sites though many are not level and some have the sewer connection uphill (the plumber's rule is sxxx don't flow uphill). The "pull through" sites are actually more like pull into a parallel spot and pull out of it later. The bathhouse and laundry and nice and clean. This location is within walking distance of several military installations, a couple of cities and the regional airport (car rental). You are on the golf course so if you are a golfer it is a five minute stroll to the Club House so you could roll or carry them there. This place could be much better if they put some funds into it. read more

0 stars for management 5 for host 4 for campground We stayed here 5/22 and the camp host was so nice. We had a great stay, clean showers, free laundry facility. 8/23 we PCSed from SoCal to NorCal. Check out from the command was a "hope we get outta here on this date" type thing so my Husband made two sets of reservations for our possible dates rolling through Monterey. Both dates ended up being bad, he canceled them and I made a third reservation online. The day before checkin we get a get a voicemail from Rosalie saying the campground was overbooked and she canceled our reservations. She thought she hung up but alas she did not and I have a recording of her bad mouthing me calling me names, saying I was up to something, and some very unprofessional language. Yes, Rosalie I was up to something, a very stressful dual military PCS with a bunch of kids and a dog. Anyway she made up the part about being overbooked because she "is not playing games with a little chickie". Please keep in mind I have never had any personal interaction with Rosalie. Bookings were made online , my Husband made cancellations via voicemail and he received emails confirming cancelation. I have the voicemail transcripts and have provided them without response so far but I'll continue reaching out and following up because this is not how you manage a FamCamp. Why not simply ask us what's going on? Thanks for the added stress of finding a place last minute on the coast in early August and the absolutely unprofessional voicemail, Ma'am! I tried calling Rosalie twice after she canceled our reservation. I left a voicemail explaining why we had 3 different reservations for different days (2 by my husbands in his name, 1 in mine). She never called me back. The online reservation system showed two empty sites for the 2 nights we had reservations for. read more

Very tight spaces 3 pull thrus if available Very clean bathrooms Staffs friendly! Don't plan on sleeping late this campground is right at the end of the Monterey Airport. Even tho morning departures depart opposite direction of the camp area, when the aircraft/jets mostly depart, its LOUD read more

Gratitude post. My elderly mom, daughter and I desperately needed to buy water during the freak heat wave on Labor Day Weekend. We totally underestimated the temps as we walked to the beach and dunes. It was a HOT, HOT day. The gift shop was closed but a staff member was kind enough to give us some bottles of water. I've never been so grateful to receive kindness from a stranger. Thank you! read more

Nice spots, very clean and welcoming staff! Definitely coming back Odd locations for the electrical hook ups and water( they are opposite the boundary sound wall into the neighboring space) read more

Monterey Pines RV Park - RV Parks Near Me - Monterey, California

Monterey Pines RV Park is a lovely place to camp for eligible patrons (see their website). The office is located at the golf course, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Rosalie Flores is in charge of the RV park reservations and she is especially well informed and customer service oriented. The majority of sites are back in with level-is concrete pads. There are 2 pull-through sites. All sites have full hookups with W/E/S included. Restrooms are well maintained, clean, and well stocked. There is a large shower stall with a bench and grab bars, although another grab bar along the long wall to the 'dry' changing area is needed. Prices are reasonable and full hook-ups available. We really enjoyed our stay here, and will return again soon! read more

Monterey Pines RV Park - Most are back-in sites; there are 2 pull-through sites. All with full hook-ups W/E/S - RV Parks Near Me - Monterey, California

Small RV Park nestled between a golf course and Monterey airport. They have about 30-40 sites that were about 90% full when we stayed. We stayed here 3 nights (Thursday to Sunday) and found it very affordable, clean and the perfect base-camp to go on adventures around the area. The planes from the nearby airport are noisy, but it's a small airport so flights average about 2-4 an hour. We did not hear any flights before 6am or after 10pm. Was a non-issue for us. Golfers were not an issue either. Sites are mostly level, with a decent amount of space between them. Each site has a outdoor grill, decent picnic table and hookups. Park is located only a mile from a major highway, so quick access to get back. Even though it's a military RV Park, it's not located on a base, so no worries about driving through a base gate or competing with lines during rush hour traffic. We saw the base police patrolling the park twice while we were here, which was nice to see. Bathrooms and showers are much nicer, well maintained and cleaner than most RV parks. Bathrooms are centrally located in the park. About 90% of the RVs that camp here probably have their own shower and bathroom, so the park bathroom facilities are never crowded. They also have free washer and dryers that do a good job. Free Wi-Fi that worked great at our campsite. Really nice place to economically stay in Monterey. read more

My family and I have been camping here for years without any issues. That streak of great experiences ended recently when the manager of the campground kicked my family (wife and young children) and friends out due to a simple "parking issue". All could've been avoided if proper communication was conducted and maybe some little respect/consideration from management, but that was unfortunately not the case. Not only were we rudely approached, but he belittled me as a service member by comparing my rank to his father (yup, not his rank BUT his father's) stating I'm "only an E6 and should've known better" and his dad was a Chief. Lastly, he also made it known how we "bothered" his golf day so he stood there in front of us like a slave master and did not budge until we left while he was yelling and being rude in front of the children. What a way to treat your customers, Active Duty and young children. Very disappointed with how we have people like this man working in our facilities and treating people with disrespect. As much as we love supporting DoD facilities, we will never go back to this campground and I hope disciplinary actions are conducted towards this manager. I have his name, but decided to not post publicly out of the little respect I have left for him. read more

What a nightmare. First you have to pay your entire amount upfront so if you have any problems you're not getting your money back. The park is close to downtown but that is the only benefit. The spaces are so small and difficult to get into you can't put your awning out. You also have to park your vehicles behind where you park your rig because of fire code and the let us know it was a $500 fine if we did park by our rig. The bathrooms are difficult to get into with the code and the small little lock. There is only one shower and two toilets. The park is directly in the flight path for the airport so low-flying planes are going all the time. We are pulling outA day early. The reason being some rowdy people pulled in next to us and set up outdoor camp with a propane fire in a lot of beer. Your chairs are right up against our slide when we complain they were confrontational. We told the camp post he did nothing. At 10 o'clock when it was quiet hours they were still going and the camp post would not answer the phone. Don't stay here read more
