Very convenient to highway. Peaceful location. Friendly check in staff. Didn't use the bathhouse so can't comment on that. Sites are narrow but the trade off is worth it. A hidden gem. We'd stay there again.
We were able to snag a last minute reservation here when our plans changed due to weather on the other side of the state. Campground is old but sites are level. No facilities nearby. Check in staff at library told us about two buildings where we could do laundry - one washer, one dryer but it was worth not having to go into town. Paso Robles worth a visit as are wine tastings at some of the 250 wineries...
Friendly check in staff. Ideal location and convenient to Tucson and vicinity.
First time stay here. Easy to make reservations - easy on and off from Hwy 90. Never did meet host - knocked on door but may not have heard us. Quite and peaceful. We'd stay here again.
Our third stay here and just as enjoyable. The geese are certainly productive and the turkeys and peacocks quite vocal. Great location to visit local wine country and San Francisco. We took advantage of the reasonably priced meals at the dining facility. A bath house would have scored a perfect 5 but with only six sites, it's understandable why there isn't one.
First stay in this area. Great location to visit Monterey and vicinity. Friendly check in staff. The sites are short but we were able to fit our 26' MH and car in a 30' site with the car parked parallel to road. We took advantage of the great discounts offered at the ITT office to visit the Monterey Aquarium and Winchester House. Fort Ord Community Commissary nearby and well stocked. We'll definitely stay there again.
Our first stay here and in the area. As other reviewers have mentioned, the hosts are all wonderful and very helpful. There is so much to see and do in this area - this is a great place to consider home base while you tour the area. Only downside, and it's very minor, is that we can't have any packages shipped to us here if not going by USPS. As far as regular mail, the post office...
This was our 2nd visit here - we love the peace and quiet yet it's still w/in easy traveling distance to San Francisco. Be sure to enjoy one of the meals in the dining hall - a bargain at $2.30/pp for breakfast and $4.25/pp for lunch or dinner. The meals we had there were fabulous - you can't fix that feast yourself for that cost. One word of advice about getting your mail delivered there. The...
We thoroughly agree w/all the positive comments in prior messages. We've never felt so welcome as we have here. And the info packet upon checkin is so helpful. We were also pleasantly surprised to see that diesel on base was 14 cents/gallon cheaper than offbase - wotta deal! Our stay also coincided with SMART's presentation of Famcamp of the Year for 2009 - a well deserved award.
We hesitate to give a good review - others will find out what a neat place this is to stay, either for the night or longer. Our week's stay turned into 11 days and even then, we were reluctant to leave. The gate personnel are some of the friendliest and most helpful we've met. Downsides are the dusty roads and the trains - this is a busy east-west corridor. But w/windows closed because of cool temps, we...
Our first time here - we are impressed w/the long level sites, good water pressure, good electric, but most importantly, the very friendly and helpful staff. Propane price is best we've seen in six years of traveling - $1.35/gallon (we were told it infrequently changes based on what they get charged.) More noise from trains than anything else but that may depend on where site is located. Word to the wise: you can get UPS or...
We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay there. Sites in 'back' row have more room for toad or tow vehicle parking. We ran into a bit of confusion with our site number which had been assigned when we made reservations. When we checked out the site, it was still occupied (it was well past check out time.) Their site assignment system is manual - we were then assigned another site, which was also assigned to someone...
Access to CG w/rig is easier to find if you come in Gate 9 (Rideout Rd/Hwy 255) off of I-565. After getting thru gate, go less than a mile and pull a U-turn heading north again (plenty of room), then take right onto Goss Road. Stay on Goss up and down hill, then follow signs for RV park (sign on right). If you miss it, you can take right at light on Vincent Drive and take a...
Other reviews do a great job of summing up staying here at Camp Carr. Directions from South & West are excellent. Ramada Inn on corner is now Courtyard by Marriott, who knows what next. Dinner train has run a couple of times in the evening. It's so quiet and peaceful here that the train whistle may startle you. Small price to pay for the beauty, convenience of staying here. As far as using Melville...
Very convenient to local attractions. Long sites. Only minus is location of sewer connection. Exchange located just outside of main gate; commissary past gate on Oceana Blvd, on left hand side - look for large building with columns. Aircraft noise bearable and during our stay, stopped before 11 pm and didn't resume till after 8 am.
Due to a medical emergency, we had to extend our stay an additional day. The staff was wonderful in shuffling sites around so we could remain on our site.
