One of the best parks that is available to Thousand Trails members. Great location and nice spots. Yes the highway can be loud but it is not that bad and if you are here more that a couple of days it fades into background noise.

Very nice hosts. Calm location internally. Most people driving slowly. There is significant highway noise, of course, but you come for the beach and Monterey. Nice mix of trees. Walking path directly to beach. Can get packages delivered directly to your site (WHICH IS GREATLY APPRECIATED). They take extra care to make sure gravel is blown off the road and even rake the gravel parking spaces after vehicles leave to give a fresh and clean impression. NEVER seen that before. An extra touch of care. Certainly not taking the lazy approach. The sand at the beach is very coarse, which means it doesn't pack down, even when wet. Always a soft step and unrideable by fat tire bikes. Bike path not too far on other side of highway alongside a road heading north-south.

Beautiful Yurt Stay with Great Location 🌊 Our family spent a week in Big Sur staying in cabins, but there was virtually no cell phone reception, which made it impossible for me to work. Since I had to work three days of the week, we chose to stay at Marina Dunes RV Park in a yurt — and it was even nicer than expected! The yurt was very clean and comfortable, and the bed was great — we slept so well. Staff were friendly, check-in was easy, and the bathrooms (a short walk away) were cleaned daily and well-maintained. Even though it’s close to the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1), it was surprisingly quiet. The location is perfect for exploring Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. There’s a beautiful trail over the dunes that takes you right to the ocean, and just down the street is a state beach entrance and parking lot — we even rode our bikes there! 🚴♀️ The drive from here to Big Sur is absolutely breathtaking and so worth it. Cell reception was excellent for T-Mobile (four bars most of the time), and if you need full 5G, just head up the street to Walmart. We loved it so much we booked another two-week stay later this year, and this time we’ll be bringing our RV. Highly recommend!

Clean, cozy, and a short walk to the beach! Stayed one night in a yurt: comfortable bed, linens and towels provided, plus fire pit, picnic table, and chairs. Restrooms and showers were great. My parents stayed in one of the RV sites, which were spacious, well-kept, and perfect for relaxing. The tiny homes on-site were also adorable. Quick drive to Monterey and plenty of stores/restaurants in Marina. Park store closes early, so plan ahead. Highly recommend for RV stays or a relaxing seaside getaway!

Graded flat spots. Fenced area with a picnic table. We had a 50amp spot, full hookups. Great customer service. Easy to park wide roads. Near the beach, and had great bike paths.
