Enjoy pleasant weather, no matter the season, with an RV road trip to this artsy seaside community.
Straddling Carmel Bay, on the southeastern end of the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel-by-the-Sea is known for its fairytale architecture, 18th-century Spanish mission, and thriving arts scene. The weather is pleasant year-round, making the city and its surrounding areas ideal for an RV vacation throughout the year. Most RV camping options in the area are situated a short drive inland, outside Carmel, so if you're after coastal views, you'll want to drive a bit south on Highway 1 to the Big Sur coast. Because Carmel and its surrounding communities are so popular, RV-friendly campgrounds often fill up early. Fortunately, there are plenty of private Hipcamps that welcome RVers, from quiet single sites on private land to enchanting retreats in the middle of the forest.
