The yurt as was great. Very cozy and everything worked. The place is set up for a romantic or solo trip. Kind of close to the freeway which is a bit distracting from the white noise. But also right next to the ocean. Good for 1 or two people. Lots of no pets signs which is great if you have allergies. In general the other guest were pleasant and easy going, no one was rushed and trying to everything they could on a once in a lifetime trip. I went solo for a dive trip but will try the larger accommodations with the family or maybe just rent an rv. I highly recommend the clean pleasant getaway they provide. With more time and a few loved ones it would be nice sitting outside and enjoying the fire. This isn’t back packing it is low stress glamping. Sometimes that’s all we need to recharge.

Beautiful quiet campground! The whole place was immaculate and well maintained. The amenities were wonderful… loved the playground, dog park and easy access to the beach dunes! Our family and dog had the best time! Also loved being among all the cypress trees… it was magical! The staff were also very attentive, helpful and kind! Only negative is the highway noise, but that goes hand in hand with the convenience of the campground being an easy stopping point on your journeys!

Extremely clean, nice laundry facilities, nice dog area, cute cabins. I loved the fact that it was across from a dog leash beach. There was definitely road noise… but location annd cleanliness outweighs anny negatives. This was an elevated thousandtrails Rv park. We had a premium site that was spacious and level for our 27 ft Rv. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the Yurts, which were very comfortable. We arrived very late, which the resort staff were able to accommodate us. Everyone we met there were very friendly and helpful. Outside is a parking spot, picnic table, fixed ice chest, a fire pit and 2 adarondack chairs. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the bedding and bath towels are provided. With a table and chairs, a dresser, 2 beside tables with lamps where you can charge your phones and a little heater. Even with our luggage, we were comfortable with plenty of room to move around. We wanted our coffee when we wake up early & since there is power in the yurt, we brought an electric kettle and French press. All of the common areas: the bathroom & shower, community center, and the children's play area were all very clean. The little Bodega in the office had enough items to choose from so that we didn't need to leave the park if we didn't want to. However, the park is close to town for provisions. It's right next to the Marina Nature Preserve and down the road from Marina State Park. It's also only about a half an hour away from Monterey on one side and Santa Cruz on the other. We went to the Monterey Aquarium with family one day and on our way to the airport, we stopped at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Being centrally located made these stops very easy to pull off in a short amount of time. Can't wait for our next stay.

My wife, me and my kids stay at Marina dunes all the time. The facility is absolutely wonderful that people are great. It is in a perfect spot when you come to Monterey to camp and explore and anybody that comes here and leaves any kind of a bad review needs to stay home lock their doors and do not come out of their house.
