Arroyo Seco

This really was one of the most beautiful campsites I have ever been to. I only booked due to lack of availability in the Big Sur and was not expecting such a serene and diverse surrounding. The vista from the primitive campsite was outstanding as was the access to various hiking trails. The lakes open for swimming were clearly utilized by groups for partying but going earlier in the day or during the week mitigated exposure to this. The primitive campsite spots were the largest I have ever seen. I would highly recommend and definitely return.

Great family camping campsite. Playing in the river was a lot of fun too.

Great site, but bummed out there were no campfires allowed due to fire restrictions

Cleanest restrooms and wonderful staff! A great experience all around. Sadly some of the more remote areas of the Day Use area had a trash problem. Not Staff’s fault but a sad commentary on human behavior.

Nice sites, clean restrooms and showers

It was a scenic drive from Monterey to get to the camp, although a bit long but doesn't feel boring at all. The camp was pretty clean with multiple running tap water stations and shower/restrooms. Despite no phone signal, a paid telephone booth comes handy. There are dears but no other wild animals observed. Near the camping site there are a few good spots to visit: the gorge has a magnificent view and the day-use area can get you close to the water with picnic tables alongside. Perfect place for a family trip!

The primitive section doesn't have flush toilet. Other than that,it's a very nice campground.

Great park and beautiful trails to the gorge but the staff were extremely rude and nitpicking. We arrived at 1:30pm and drove into the campsite but they made us leave because check in was at 2pm and we couldn't use a propane stove without getting a permit, which I have never seen before. The campsites are also pretty close together so if you want privacy you won't get it here. The lakes were also dried out, which was a bummer. Just a heads up!

Fue El mejor campamento al que eh ido estuvo fabuloso y el personal muy amables siempre regreso cada Año

I had planned for a camp fire and bbq. I found out the day we arrived to check in that we cannot due to the fire alert we are currently on so I decided to cancel. They told me to cancel online or call. Well there are no options to cancel online! So I called, after holding for 30 minutes they answered and accepted my cancellation. TO THIS DAY I have not received my refund that they said would be refunded back to me. The area is beautiful but they are strict on their check in time which is understanding but the employees were rude told me to drive back to town or pay for a day pass. I'm glad I didn't camp in addition they told me they lock up the bathrooms at 6pm which sounds like a ridiculous rule recently implemented. YEARS ago I had camped here and the experience was amazing from the employees to the cleans bathrooms and clean campsites.
