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.

Nice spots, clean grounds and facilities. Super friendly staff !! The northern section was alittle more established with trees whereas south lot was alot more open. Definately can't go wrong staying here. We stayed at site 81 which is a pull through site on the end.

We’ve been camping here for years, and it’s always been our go to spot for spring and summer getaways. The beach is just a short walk from our RV campsite, which is a huge plus. The RV park is consistently clean, and the customer service has always been great. While you can hear some noise from the freeway, it’s barely noticeable with the ocean so close by. The location is incredibly convenient, especially being near Monterey Bay which is the main reason we keep coming back. As members of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, we love that we can camp here and easily drive to the Aquarium. Our stays have always been memorable, and we look forward to returning year after year.

Super easy to get to and right next to the beach. There is an awesome trail to take to the beach as well. Spots aren't very private and the rates were a bit pricey.

Our experience was outstanding. As a disclaimer we were put in the brand new section which is choice. Pavers so you really don't need a rug and it's big for keeping out the dirt and sand. Hookups were fine. Shower was hot and free. General store, laundry and so on. Facilities were great. You're pretty close to the ocean by foot or if you can find a parking spot the state park entrance on the way in to the park is instant access to the beach. If you take the dogs its the foot path only and while you can drive down to the entrance it's a fair distance to the beach. I really found no flaws. Your mileage may vary and I can't speak to the original location 100 yds away from the section we stayed at but it was definitely more children and lots of them so for us, we probably would have had a slightly diminished experience.

We initially planned to stay for 4 nights. Then extended for another two weeks. We loved the RV Park and the location. Quick drive into Monterey or up to Moss Landing to see more wildlife. You can tell the staff really care about this place. The bathroom and showers are spotless. Every site is carefully cleaned before new folks arrive. The office store has a bunch of things too. We have a baby and a dog and really enjoyed the close access to the dog-friendly beach (right behind the RV park) and the state beach, also a short walk down the road.

This is one of the best managed RV parks out there. Michael, the park manager, and the rest of the staff were always so kind and accommodating. We had some issues with our reservation and Michael took care of it directly. They had a fun scavenger hunt for the kids (which they loved). The campsites are super clean and modern. Great 50amp service, decent water pressure, our sewer connection needed to be repaired but still worked fine. The freeway noise is for sure a bummer at this campground. But it’s well made up for with the incredible walk to the dunes and the beaches. Also very easy access to Monterey and Pacific Grove.

Staff was amazing. Nice level spots. But unfortunately had one bad experience. People across from us had a dog that attacked ours. They didn't say anything. Didn't even come by to see if he was okay. He had two puncture wounds on his foot.

We stayed 6 days, this place is really nice. People come their annually, also a lot of one night stands. Bathrooms are secure neat and clean. Rv spots are nice and big so it's easy to get those big rigs in and parked. Easy stroll to a beach access. Only negative is the traffic noise from freeway.

Great facilities and easy check in. Only minor changes would be to create some barrier from the hotel parking lot. We backed up next to the hotel parking and there was lots of vehicle and foot traffic. I saw some tress planted and growing but it'll be a while to get a true sense privacy from the lot. Otherwise the family can't wait to go back

Super cute place to go camping. I love the tiny tents. Very peaceful place and really great weather. A nice getaway. If you are in the area be sure to visit this place. Super close to the beach too!
