Looks like reviews are for Laguna Seca. MCCHD is on a campus with a hospital, jail, and sheriff's department. There is not, repeat, not a shooting range here. Do not bring guns. There is no campground, although some hospital staff park RV's in the parking lot. Do not bring a tent. There is no ocean view. Do not bring high expectations.

This campground gave us sunlight after being on the grey coast for too long. The racetrack and mountaintop were unique. The campsites can be windy as there is little shelter from the wind. In the morning the fog had rolled in and it was cool but pretty. Its nice to get out of the grey but you still get coastal temperatures.

System for reservations is not good. They take reservations for the racers and events but not for regular visitors so you just show up and pick a site. Trouble is it may already be reserved. We had a confrontation eventually settled by the ranger with another couple who claimed a reservation. I am sure they had one but the site was listed by the rangers as open. Tarnished an otherwise nice stay. Great views. 16% uphill grade going in. GPS is off by 1/4 mile. Just keep going. Would stay here again but not during the races. It was a madhouse.

I had the best experience. They were very helpful and welcoming. The staff really took the time to listen and made me feel like what I came in for truly mattered. Great service overall!
