Partial Hookups Tent Site W/E
Too steep for us
We tried to make it up the steep incline to the office and tent sites beyond, but our van could not make it up. We were unable to stay at this location though it looked beautiful. The manager was out of town so they could not issue us a refund.

Luxury Tent
Glamping tent 38Q
I loved the glamping tent. Everything needed was provided. The bed was incredibly warm and the fire pit was a nice touch.

Beautiful and easy access campsite, the staff were better than expected and very knowledgeable of the area, they had many recommendations of what to do in town. Our campsite had an amazing view of Carmel Valley even though it was a very cloudy day. Super clean and well kept bathrooms, and located the restrooms was no problem at all. I would definitely stay here again next time I come in town for a visit.

Great amenities and really relaxing and quiet space. The road to our campsite was a little confusing but we were able to figure it out after searching a little.

The site was clean and the host friendly and helpful. The shower was great, although I would recommend improving the ventilation (maybe add an exhaust fan) and replacing the broken shower hooks (there was only one usable hook). While our campsite worked fine for us, we were surprised by how steep and tight the access was, and if it were a busier season, there would be little to no privacy. We did not use the pool or sauna, so I have no feedback on that.
