Carmel by the River RV Park

We stayed in February 2018. Small park, quiet, very friendly and helpful staff. Some long term travelers. Small lawn with picnic benches, river or stream on one side. I am a newbie and it took me a while to back in a 25’ Airstream but I did it. The sewer hook ups were too far back for our hose - same for the 27’ next to us. We mention... more
