I read the reviews that were posted with a rating of 8 and 9, and based on what they had to say, I don't understand how they gave it such a high rating. Yes, it has Wi-Fi, but the camp host told us that it is not available in some sites. We were able to use it, but it was slow and usually our own air card was better. There are only 2 things that make this "campground" better than the others in Monterey; the first and most obvious is the price. Our price of $36. included a 10% senior discount (the regular rate being $40., while the other parks are charging $65-$70 per night). The second thing is the close proximity to the things we wanted to see in Monterey. Basically it is just an asphalt parking lot with hookups, albeit they are on the wrong side of the rig for half of the sites because they are shared. The sites are narrow as well. Yes, we can hear the planes, and yes, they are loud. However, they are not as frequent as some parks we have been in. Getting into the RV section of the fairgrounds is awkward because the camp host is not clearly mark, and if fact the sign that designates the camp host was laying down when we got here. Look for the camp host at the beginning of the RV parking, not in a building office. Also, the camp host has a large dog that is not always on a leash. He is a friendly puppy, but that doesn't make me feel any more comfortable when he comes running up to me, as I have physical limitations. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found this park a little challenging. The street in front of the gate is grooved where rigs have scraped entering and leaving. Our site had the hook-ups on the back right (about which we were warned), but even had they been on the correct side, it would have been difficult to drain the tanks up the incline to the sewer. The spot was tight, requiring us to park the car across and down the lot from our coach, and our slides nearly touched the neighbor's slides. There is nice shade and the host was helpful. There is airport noise and potential for damage from golf balls. Our rate reflects a 10% senior discount. We would stay again if unavoidable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Based on prior reviews of this campsite, we stayed 2 nights for an annual Irish Wolfhound get-together in Monterey. Use Gate 6 when you enter the Fairgrounds. The entire area is paved and the host was very friendly. We were originally given site 18, but with our 28', it was a bit tricky to park (there's a tree directly in front of the site). We took site 17 instead, but be aware that hookups are shared and I believe the odd numbers need extensions on sewer, water and electric. There's horse stables and a golf course on either side; very clean and peaceful. There is an airport nearby, but the planes didn't bother us. I thank everyone for being good canine citizens; there was no dog waste to be seen. I will definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
