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

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.

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!

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.

Great location for multi-family group vacation! Food was fantastic, activities were low key and wonderful, staff were super responsive to lots of questions leading up to our dates. We loved being able to have cabins all right by each other with plenty of communal space to spend time together. We would love to go back!

The Camp at Carmel Valley completely blew me away. It’s super easy to get to, and once you're there, you’ll find everything you need to relax and have fun—pickleball and tennis courts, a pool, basketball, and so much more. There are plenty of cozy common areas. The cabins are perfect for a family weekend, offering all the comforts of home in a beautiful setting. The breakfast was super good and I would recommend their dinner. Honestly, once you arrive at The Camp, you won't want to leave. It’s just that good.

Our organization held a 35-person, 3-day retreat at the Camp at Carmel Valley and we could not have been happier with the space. The rooms and cabins are comfortable, the setting is beautiful, and the meeting spaces are flexible and perfect for groups of 10-40 people. David was excellent as a host. He accommodated our every need, and really made the entire experience very personalized. Also, the food is fantastic. Could not have been happier with the experience!

If you are looking for the most uniquely fun wedding venue, look no further!! Camp Carmel Valley is hands down the best choice!! As a a wedding planner myself, I have seen a lot- and I can confidently say that choosing Camp as our wedding venue was the best choice we could have made for so many reasons! From the very beginning my husband and I knew we wanted our wedding to be more than just a one day event and I wanted it to be like no other wedding that any of our guests had ever been to. My goal was for all of my guests to feel taken care of the entire weekend with fun activities and lots of love, so when we found Camp it felt like the perfect option for us! Obviously Camp Carmel Valley is absolutely STUNNING, with gorgeous oak trees and Spanish moss, how could you not fall in love with the scenery?! It is such a unique venue with the most quaint cabins, and great facilities throughout the entire venue. Although the beauty of Camp is hard to compete with, the main reason our wedding was so incredible is because of their camp manager David!!! I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible David was throughout our entire wedding weekend. From the moment we arrived at the camp, it was clear that we were in great hands, but we could never have predicted just how much David and the rest of the CCV team would go above and beyond. When unexpected issues arose, David swooped in like a true superhero- literally saving the day. He handled everything with such grace, professionalism, and total calmness that it honestly felt like nothing was too big of a challenge. Seriously, my wedding weekend would not have been successful without David, and I am eternally grateful for everything he did. I had the most amazing time because of him. I went into that weekend worried that I would be playing the role of both the wedding planner and the bride, but David ensured that everything was handled to perfection, so I could just enjoy! Every guest felt taken care of, and we had the time of our lives, all thanks to David’s expertise and dedication. It truly felt like David and his team were 100% committed to making our day perfect, and we felt so supported throughout the entire planning process. If you're looking for a wedding venue that is not only absolutely stunning but has the BEST camp manager who will be your rock, your calm in the storm, and your secret weapon to making everything run smoothly, look no further. David is an absolute superstar. Our wedding weekend would not have been the same without him. We are forever grateful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! PC: Rush Chard Smith

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.
