What others say about Saddle Mountain Ranch...
We have been coming here for years RV camping. It’s very peaceful in Carmel Valley. The grounds are up against the mountain and there is a trail to climb to the top and take in the breathtaking view!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. You’re 5 minutes from Carmel-By-The-Sea and 10 minutes from Monterey. Full hooks and tent sites. This has a beautiful pool area. If you’re looking for a bougie RV park … this is not it!!!!
This is such a great spot! The house my family and I stayed in had a tiny home like set up (which was perfect for me because I’m obsessed with them) with a sleeping loft and living area combined with the kitchen and dining area. It was sooo cozy and charming but also surprisingly roomy for the 5 of us! The loft had decently high ceilings so it felt more comfortable to sleep up there compared to other sleeping lofts I’ve been in and the mattress was so comfortable. We had a cute side yard set up that felt surprisingly private given there were other houses on the lot. This location is not far from downtown but away from the craziness in a more rural spot near lots of good hiking trails. About as glamorous as glamping can get! I’ll definitely be back, maybe for a luxury tent next time.
We stayed at Saddle Mountain RV park for 3 nights in an RV. It was quite the find. We loved everything about this place. The bathrooms and showers were very clean, the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The park has a beautiful pool and the grounds are beautiful. There are many areas to sit with gas firepits under gazebos for evening socializing. Do not hesitate to stay here.
A hidden gem! Very clean, quiet, amazing pool, fire pits, and games for all. RV sites with full hook ups, dry tent camp sites all up the valley from the beach so your not under the marine layer freezing mid day. A great place to stay! We will be back…
“Incredible value. 5-10 min drive from anything you need but feels like you in the middle of nowhere. Book here and feel confident you’ve made a great choice. The cabins are great!”
