What campers say
Carmel By the River RV Park is a well-kept, quiet option near Carmel, Monterey and the start of Big Sur. Guests commonly note friendly staff, tidy grounds, private hedged sites and a gated dog area, making it good for pet owners and those seeking a peaceful stay. Practical tradeoffs include a long, narrow approach road and some operational annoyances reported by guests — intermittent septic problems and shower setups that require frequent button presses or offer limited privacy. Sites are generally level with fresh gravel; overall it’s a comfortable, convenient base if you accept the few occasional maintenance and access drawbacks.
