Monterey Fairgrounds RV Park

How does an RV park defy the typical camping expectations? The Monterey County Fairgrounds RV Park offers a combination of urban convenience and coastal accessibility that is rare for many campgrounds. Located just minutes from downtown Monterey, this RV park provides a straightforward, no-frills setup with full utility hookups, clean restroom and shower facilities, and coin laundry, making it a functional base for exploring the area's rich natural and cultural offerings.

The park’s location stands out as its most significant draw. It is just blocks from the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail and within a 10-minute drive to highlights like Cannery Row, Del Monte Beach, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. In addition, its proximity to the Monterey County Fairgrounds makes it an excellent choice for visitors attending events. While the RV park itself is a simple paved lot with grassy peripheries and lacks luxuries such as fire pits or picnic tables, its connectivity to the surrounding attractions compensates for its utilitarian design.

Perfect for short stays, event visits, or as a centralized base for regional exploration, the Monterey County Fairgrounds RV Park is tailored for those who value proximity to Monterey’s coastline and cultural landmarks over secluded wilderness camping.
