Open All Year

Welcome to the new Salinas/Monterey KOA. We have the lowest prices in the area. We are only 7 miles from the coast, making us a great base camp for exploring the Monterey Peninsula area and all it's attractions. We are located at the intersection of Hwy 101 and 156 West in Prunedale.

Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck captured the beauty of the Monterey Coast and its beachfront and inland communities in his landmark books. Visitors can enjoy an easy 20-minute drive to downtown Monterey and between 10 to 30 minutes to Carmel, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, 17 mile drive to Pebble Beach and all other local attractions. We are also close to all local Wineries, where wine tasting is the jewel of Monterey County. The Salinas/Monterey KOA campground offers newly renovated Camping Cottages. These cottages have all the amenities and comfort of a hotel room, with a fireplace and/or garden tub in two of our deluxe Cottages. Sorry - NO PETS OR SMOKING are allowed in any of our Camping Cottages. We have newly-remodeled 50 amp pull-through sites and several 30 amp sites that can accommodate up to 40-foot-long rigs. Our campground offers a clubhouse/game room, swimming pool, children's playground and store. From the campground's convenient location 7 miles inland from the beach, attractions to the north, south, east and west are all within an easy drive. Our KOA truly is the gateway to Monterey!

We are right at the 101 and 156 highways with the beach at Moss Landing only 7 miles away. Whale watching is right at the marina at Moss Landing and we have the best dog beach around. The famous "Phil's Fish Market" is also in Moss Landing (which has been on the Food Network Channel with Bobby Flay). We are within 40 minutes of the boardwalk in Santa Cruz and only 4 miles from Elkhorn Slough and Manzinita Park off Hwy 1. Salinas National Steinbeck Center is only 9 miles south of the park. Seca Raceway is only 20 miles from our park and such an easy on/off to all parking. The Garlic Festival in Gilroy is 18 miles. Don't forget the 17-mile drive out of Carmel, where you will end up at one of the best shopping areas around. Go wine tasting at the many winery's in the Salinas/Monterey area. Easy access to the 101 & 156 freeways at our back door.

Winery's Monterey County is home to Big Sur’s rugged coastline, the golf courses of Pebble Beach, Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, the quaint, posh village of Carmel and the rolling vineyards of the Salinas Valley. Monterey County wineries now total over 75 with 40,000 acres planted with 40 different grape varieties. The wineries here include a few large million case producers but most make fewer than 25,000 cases annually, with a handful producing fewer than 5,000. Tasting fees range from nothing (at most of the Salinas Valley wineries) to up to $15 in Carmel Valley. Most charge $5 or less. The vineyards and wineries are spread out within seven different American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc dominate the vineyards in the north. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel are most common in the south. Over 40% of the county’s vines are planted to Chardonnay with many of the vineyards owned by out-of-the-area wineries. Close to 70% of Monterey fruit is shipped out of the county.

Monterey Aquarium The Monterey Aquarium is only 18 miles from the park off Highway 156 to Hwy 1 to downtown Monterey. The aquarium is one of the largest with many exhibits as follows: Giant Pacific Octopus Hot Pink Flamingos Kelp Forest Life on the Bay Mission to the Deep Monterey Bay Habitats Outer Bay Rocky Shore Sandy Shore & Aviary Secret Lives of Seahorses Sea Otters Splash Zone & Penguins
