We love this quaint RV park! Close to everything! There is a long road to just get to the entrance, then it narrows as you get closer to the entrance of the park. But, other than that its been great. Has a small enclosed dog area too. We would definitely come back!

After an 11-day journey from Florida to California — our very first adventure as new RVers — this stop was pure peace. A full week surrounded by nature, calm mornings, and the kind of quiet that lets everything sink in. 🌲🚐☀️ We are in a double site. Bbq and propane fireplace have been used often.

The staff was very friendly. Office and restroom/showers were clean and welcoming. Unfortunately, those were pretty much the only positive parts of our week long stay. 1. The road getting in for almost a mile is very narrow. And guests must leave prior to noon and can only come into the park after 1pm. We were told to stop on the road prior to getting to the RV park to unhook our tow vehicle (about a mile before actually getting to the park). Then had drive down the middle of VERY narrow road and tree limbs hitting both sides of the RV. 2. Our site was not well maintained. Weeds growing tall enough to touch the underside of the rig, leaves everywhere as the hedge on our door side was dying. It looked like the drip system was clogged up. 3. The entire week we were there, I never once saw any maintenance people anywhere. Guests would leave and not once did I see anyone check the lots that had just been vacated. 4. The name of the park seems to indicate a river—there was no river! 5. For almost $1,000 a week, I was surprised to find no laundry facilities at the park. Instead we had to plan our grocery and laundry trips to begin before noon and not come back til after 1. And 6. It seemed long term residents were allowed to have all kinds of bins and trash on their spaces and dogs were never kept on leashes.

This was actually our second time staying here, this time we stayed long term, from May to August. During the week we were one of a handful of guests, but they were fully booked every weekend, so plan accordingly if you we be here during the summer! This park is super peaceful, at night you can hear owls and frogs, and there is no light pollution. It has a country feel as you have to go down a road with boar and horses, with the occasional deer and turkey. My toddler enjoyed looking for frogs in the pond by the office, as well as reading in the clubhouse, and walking down Schulte road to feed the boar. I wish I could give 4.5 stars, the only things lacking for a perfect score would be a designated play/green area for kids (separate from dog potty area) and access to the river. But we will definitely come back if in the area, and would recommend you staying here too!

We enjoyed our stay for one night at this site! Our only (big) complaint is that the showers felt unsafe. Rather than shower stalls for privacy, they use curtains. There was no ease of mind while I was showering, especially since I was showering at night and the door into the women's restroom is quiet (in the case that someone snuck in). Please renovate inside the showers to make your guests more comfortable, especially since we paid $140 to be there!

We booked Holly space at the park and it was lovely and more. Friendly staff and Jeff helped us maneuver RV's in and out perfectly. Ease of making reservations and getting registered when we arrived. Very nice campgrounds and is clean two of us love the canopy site which was extra fantastic! Very nice place - quiet, pretty grounds, great pet area, etc. We would definitely recommend it and return!

Carmel by the River RV park was such a fabulous place to visit. The camp is very accommodating, and we very much enjoyed our trip there! We had a large group of 20 family members this weekend. The inside space was great for the kids at night when the weather got cold. We also enjoyed s'mores around the fire pit. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

So well maintained! If you get a spot with patio furniture, it is great quality! Even the fences in the park are impeccably painted. Tons of plants and flower beds. Very quaint and quiet place to stay yet close enough to Carmel by the Sea and Monterey towns. Definitely will be back!

Wow! This place is truly a hidden gem. Quiet and peaceful with most sites having privacy hedges between them. Beautiful landscaping. Level sites with fresh gravel and a very friendly and accommodating team. A short 15 minute drive to Carmel and 20 minutes to Monterey. Great restaurants in wineries within minutes of the park in the valley. Only downside is the circuitous narrow Road from the highway to the park.

I loved staying here for the reasons others have written about - it's so pretty, the bathroom is spotless, the owners are friendly and helpful - but there's one thing I didn't see anyone else mention. They have a shuttle service into Carmel or Monterey for $20 each way. It's a pain to disconnect and lock down everything in a Class C, so I was thrilled to be able to take the shuttle into Carmel. I was planning to go to Monterey today via the shuttle but the weather is not cooperating - darn - and I leave tomorrow. Enjoy your time at this wonderful park!

My husband and I just stayed here 4 nights and it was so hard to leave! Susan and Jeff are such sweet hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Quiet,peaceful and yes, you can even hear the frogs in the river! We will definitely be back! Thank you for welcoming us and making us feel so at "home"!

We loved our stay here! The park is friendly and comfortable. The location is nice--it's quiet and peaceful, tucked away on a back road in Carmel Valley. The road is narrow in parts, but we had no trouble driving our truck or trailer on it. We enjoyed the walk down the road to say hello to the pigs. There are some nice parks nearby, and Carmel is an easy drive away. Wifi worked well. Would definitely come back!

This a lovely, cozy RV park. The hosts, Susan & Jeff, are good people and know how to add that personal touch. The grounds are clean, well equipped, and dog friendly. The evenings are especially tranquil with the main fire pit by the office. You can also rent smaller ones and get your s’mores on! I totally recommend and would come back again!

I am a first time RV'r and Jeff was absolutely the best! The other campers were very nice and I really enjoyed my visit and will be back. Wish there was a fenced dog area, but everything was great. They were very accommodating. I highly recommend this park. Very helpful!
