Betabel R V Resort

Used to be a great place, but since the management change it has gone hill terribly. It’s a nice park. If you are a resident, you get an area with trees as well. If you are a traveler, you stay in an asphalt site that is literally a parking lot. Large area where people walk their dogs and don’t clean up after them (because this is not enforced by management). They play favorites with the residents and will kick people out simply because they don’t like them. They don’t allow tents, and one person had a motorcycle cover that covered the whole bike and they said it was a tent and kicked them out. Wifi is horrible — don’t even bother trying it. Laundry facilities are clean but at least one machine is always broken. Advertise family friendly but no playground for the kids. Another elderly resident couple had to move because their neighbor was constantly smoking marijuana and the smell was getting into their RV. They asked the management to assist and they were told «he has the right to do what he wants to do in his RV» so the elderly couple had to move. We stayed here /​lived here for almost 5 years but will not go back.

Great place and a nice shady spot was assigned to us! Traveling the 101 quite a bit this year and getting a very good idea of the RV parks on and off the 101! Check in was the easiest so far this year! Have been in RV parks most every week since January 2! We are on the AKC dog show circuit and being from Tucson it so much cheaper to do the RV parks than fill the gas tank! This is a place we would most definitely come to again! We rarely use the amenities offered other than the laundry and pet area. A fenced in pet area would be great as our dog can cover the acreage quickly and we can’t keep up with her!

The manager Dave is an A-​hole! He comes across as a non-​confrontational guy but I saw a customer having to put him in his place. I was in the laundry room the next day and he didn’t know I was in there. He was standing just outside the laundry room with another guy saying, «It’s the sandn****** and ch**nks!» All I thought standing in shock was — WOW!!! What planet is this bast*** on!!! This isn’t the only time I ran into losers like this down in that area. J.H.C. it seems like these biggits conglomerate just south of the bay area.

Overall, a nice RV park with full hook-​ups and amenities, a treat for us since we usually dry camp. Lots of reviews here and elsewhere on how quiet Betabel is — not the case if you’re unlucky enough to be there on an evening when the venue next door to the park has an event going on with live music.
It began around 5pm, and wasn’t too bad, but by 9pm when the park began to settle down for the night, the music next door just seemed to get louder. Hoping they would knock off by the «standard» 10pm, we were very disappointed to hear the noise continue, and rather than quieting down out of respect for the obvious RV park right next door, the volume seemed to increase yet again.
A 10:30pm visit to the door of the place got my husband a rude and disrespectful greeting from the owner or whoever was running the party over there, with a refusal to stop or even quiet down. So we, and pretty much every other camper we spoke with the next morning, laid awake due to the live music that continued to 11pm, followed by stereos and loud conversation in the parking lot for another 30 minutes after that.
My husband spoke with the person in the Betabel office the next morning as we were checking out, and was met with an abrupt, «He’s our friend, we don’t want to hear about it» response. Obviously Betabel management is more concerned about their rude neighbors than they are about the comfort of their paying guests.
We will not be returning to Betabel.

Very courteous and fast check in. A lot of permanent residents but they are separate from travelers. RV spaces are spacious, level and great hook-​ups. Small pool, rec room with exercise equipment. Great location right off 101 and close to Monterey area.

Clean but the campsites are very close together and the train whistle at night is very annoying. There is an over abudance of full-​timers that have a lot of junk at their campsites. Parking is at a premium but you can purchase an extra parking space. The park is close to family locations but we will not be staying here again.

We have stayed here several times. Always a top tier park and only 30 min to Monterey. The cost is much more reasonable than the one decent park in Monterey.

We needed a spot between San Jose and Monterrey for vacationing. Betabel fit the bill for location. The Park is very nicely landscaped and the management was very friendly. We needed to extend our stay a week and there was no problem accommodating us.
We have a 40′ rig and the spot they gave us was a bit tight. Our bus barely fit into the sight length wise and the narrowness and trees forced me to readjust the bus a number of times before we could open our slide.
There are no gated dog facilities but there are plenty of places where you can walk your dog including a vegetable field where some of the employees grow fresh produce that they give to customers for free… neat.
The wifi is very limited. emails and surfing only… as long as it doesn’t take to much band width. The store has some basics but is not heavily stocked. They have a pool that opened the 2^nd week we were there. We did not use it but it looked nice and well maintained.
There are live ins here but they seem to be a nice bunch and keep their areas up nicely. The park is very clean overall and has a large staff which maintains the abundant landscaping.
There are train tracks right behind the park and you will get some train noise, but it is back enough from 101 that you don’t get much noise from that direction.
They have a book exchange and reading room, with a pool table and some exercise equipment and there is a basketball hoop and tether ball in the parking lot. There are is bacci ball and putting greens as well as club houses.
The park is gated and a code is needed for entry after 9pm, but there was no obvious security.
Overall the park was very nice and prices are very reasonable especially for extended stays. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

I was looking for a clean and reasonably priced RV park in the Monterey area that will rent spaces by the month.
Most places were either «Shakedown Street» or were unreasonably priced and/​or dirty.
Betable RV park is very clean, well maintained and super friendly management.
Rachel, Dee and Bill are very accommodating and generally concerned about guest satisfaction.
The general store carries less then the basics. (no milk dairy or bourbon) But if soda, beer, charcoal and ice is all you need then you are set. Close to major grocery and retail stores so the limited store supplies are not an issue.
Very pet friendly.
There are horse shoe pits, bocce ball, free Wi-​Fi (but a bit slow) free basic 17 channel cable TV. pool, recreation room, laundry mat (which is cheapest I’ve paid for in years).
Clean and well maintained Restroom/​showers.

Most spots are shaded by beautiful trees and separated by well maintained bush and shrubs.
Highly recommend for 1 day to forever stays.
I would stay here forever but they don’t carry burial plots. (lol)

Betabel is a great RV Resort with a super friendly staff. Thanks to Sallie and Bill and Dee and Rachelle for making our stay very pleasant!

This place is so clean and quite, the pool is warm and refreshing, very family friendly, pets welcome too! Shading camp sites, full hookups!

OK, my last day at the park was supposed to be on Sunday but I kept having separation anxiety and postponed my departure. I’m staying 2 more nights, and I’m loving it!

Checking in was very unpleasant. The host at the counter was very verbally combative over a question I asked about the RV Park. Her name is Sallie Threewitt the lady with a horse’s tail down to her butt. You can’t miss it.
My Question was: I can only see part of the park from here, are all of the sites cement?
Her answer was: If it’s dirt you want, we don’t have it here!
Ouch! What a grouch.
We told her we had a reservation and we needed to pay per night because my mother was in the hospital and I may need to leave ASAP. WOW! What came next was uncalled for. She stated! It’s a 3 day week-​end and if someone wanted our site she would sell it to them! After a few words between us she said if we let her know by 11:30 each morning she could hold it for us.
At this point I would have left but we were meeting 2 other couples and felt we had no alternative without ruining this planned event for others.
Why was she so rude you ask??? She said I criticized the RV Park with my earlier question. She said this caused her to react with such a vile attitude. I asked her were was the customer service and received no answer, obviously not here from her.
The next day a man came by our site and gave us a free night. Why? He didn’t say and we never received an apology. I’m sure it was because the girl working with this Pattie person let him know about her rudeness.
It’s so sad there are still people like this holding a job when there are so many people out there more deserving of this job over her.
So if you do not mind cement and a bush between each site, this is your place. (Not every site has a bush some have nothing except the electric meter). However it was very clean and centrally located off 101.
There are 2 other RV Parks near San Juan Bautista, ca just a few miles away with grass and great customer service.

What can I say, I love this RV Park. I try to come here and stay at least once a month. the staff here are incredibly nice and VERY helpful. I can honestly say that after the many, many RV parks that I have stayed in for my weekend trips, this one is the nicest park. I find the grounds to be clean and well maintained. This is a GREAT RV park for either coming to with a RV club, or I would even live here if the commute wasnt to far from my work! I like the pool, the clubhouses (three) and the spacious feeling that the park excudes. I do wish they had a hottub there but if that is the only thing I would change… well… that is saying a lot. The park managers and staff host a Kareoke event on Saturdays and invite everyone from the park… including those who live there or are just passing through. Speaking of the staff, this park also has the best management I have ever seen in a park… and I have been to many! Thank you Betabel for all the good times and for the a awesome RV Park.
