The Camp at Carmel Valley

*WEDDING VENUE REVIEW* We fell in love with the camp the moment we stepped onto its grounds, but we could've never dreamt of how magical our wedding day turned out to be. The camp is an absolute dream and the camp director, David, was such a joy to work with in preparing for our big day -- he's incredibly accommodating, attentive, flexible, and kind -- as is, all of the camp staff who assisted with the check-in process. For us, the communal aspect of our wedding weekend was a top priority, as was being in nature, so being able to host our wedding at a glampground where all our friends and family could stay on site and hang out with us/each other meant the world to us. it was even more special than we had hoped it would be! truly every one of our guests has told us this was the best wedding they'd ever been to and we know everyone being able to stay on the campgrounds was such a huge part of that. it felt like our own mini summer camp and everyone had the BEST time. if you're considering this venue i definitely encourage you to visit or stay for a weekend!!! the pictures don't do it justice. it's such a special place and by far the best decision we made in planning our wedding xo

Loved our first time at Camp at Carmel Valley. Was looking for easy, beautiful glamping and it delivered! It really felt like we were back in summer camp with all the fun activities - yoga, pickleball, rescue donkey meet-and-greet, archery, lawn games, bonfires at night! The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and available. We also ordered the camp food and it was great - generous portions, high quality and fresh. |Can't wait to come back!

That was an awesome experience for us. It's not too crowded like a lot of other places in California. There's tons of space, with a pool, tennis court, basketball court, a beautiful landscape, and even a barn with cute donkeys. Plus, you can do archery and yoga here. It's a great place for the kids. The service was great, too. Everyone there was super polite and nice. We'll definitely be back!

We love glamping at the Camp at Carmel Valley. The views are beautiful, the activities are fun, and we enjoy the cabins as an elevated alternative to tent camping, while still being sufficiently rustic to feel as if you are still a part of nature. Plus, the camp is dog friendly which is great for us. Finally, we love how close it is to town, with cute shops and restaurants, and wine tasting experiences in Carmel Valley.

Exceptional private retreat for events. We hosted a 60 person family reunion for a weekend in August and there were activities for every age group. It has a national park lodge feel with basic bus comfortable accommodations. The staff worked quietly behind the scenes and tended to our every need. Hiking on property as well as archery, a pool, pickle ball courts, tennis courts and more! There are multiple rooms to host events including space for business meetings and a yoga studio. The rescue donkeys were fun to meet, as well. Thank you David & Angie for the memorable stay!

We had a magical time at Camp! Was impressed with how well they took care of us (like taking all our stuff in a golf cart from our car to our cabin!), we opted to pay for meals, and I loved that they handled the fire pits for s'mores each night. We had a big group and it was such a fun experience. Our kids loved the pool, archery, tie dye, pickleball, donkeys, and more. Would be a great place for something like a family reunion :) Thank you David & Angie!

Our family visited The Camp during the weekdays in summer and there was no staff to clean the pool or maintenance the cabin. Due to lack of staff, we were not allowed to use fire pit, pool was too dirty, dishwasher was broken, one of main cabin light was out, and when we called to an on-site staff to change the bulb, we never heard back. Might worth money for a camp site with nice sport courts but for $600 per night cabin, they didn't provide enough support during our stay.

Super fun time at a glamping weekend at The Camp at Carmel Valley. Staff are really warm and inviting (thanks David!). The live music one evening was really wonderful and all the different daytime activities were so fun and easy to join in on. We especially loved our archery lesson, the pickleball courts and just running around the property. Close to good hiking and wine tasting. Property is rustic but super clean. Our two families with young kids had a perfect long weekend and look forward to going again!

If you're looking for the Monterey/Carmel ocean air and related experiences I would not recommend The Camp at Carmel Valley. It could be just what your looking for if you're seeking a foothill camp experience. Although you have many of the comforts of home you have other options for a getaway weekend in Ca.
