Enjoyed the stay at Fremont Peak State Park (Elevation 3500ft) with one big caveat, the park was fairly empty in January. If we had been in the Oak Point Campground during busy season, would have felt claustrophobic due to how it is set up. Almost all of the campsites in Oakpoint have a shared driveway/parking space, and very few are level (although, site 19 was good).
The Valley View Campground was closed for the season, giving the opportunity to scout it out for future visits and it is the preferred location with single vehicle driveways. Level driveways with great campsites in order of preference: 7, 5, 9, 12.
Overall the campsite does need some updates. The bathroom/pit toilets were in good condition, but everything else looked like splinter city. Chatted with the Park Rangers and they were super friendly. The potable water had a faint taste of bleach. First night there had good internet (we think because it was foggy) and able to stream content, the second not so much.
Not sure I would feel comfortable pulling a trailer up the road as is is narrow and curvy, but part of the reason for the van is that I’m a nervous nelly when it comes to towing things.
It’s a beautiful spot among the oaks with views of Monterey on one side and San Juan Batista on the other. Multiple trails veer off the campsites for plenty of exercise opportunities. There is a large group of cell and communications towers nearby at the top of Fremont Peak (about 1/3 a mile away) for those that are sensitive to that.

I grew up around the area and still live nearby, but I never get tired of visiting Fremont’s Peak. Amazing views, fun hikes, uncrowded most of the time. Part of the year there are free presentations at the Observatory, here is the link: https://www.fpoa.net/

What an awesome road in, and an intense view of the ocean valley below!
Awesome sunset, and sunrise.
Bathrooms were stocked, but desperately need a redesign with a window.

We stayed 2 nights in April. We arrived on a Friday and were one of three sites taken. More sites filled up Saturday. The campground is at the top of a hill and there are views of the valley. Fog rolled in the valley and we were looking above the fog. The road to the campground is narrow and windy. Trailers are not recommended. The sites at the camp are smaller but nice. Only very small trailers will fit in most sites. There are hiking trails but watch out for ticks.
