The Camp at Carmel Valley

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

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.

I stayed in the Summer House for a short getaway. It was a disappointment over all. Lacks the charm of a real cabin, but is just as cold as a real cabin. Plus a horrible air freshener made the air unbearable when I first arrived. I thought it'd be fun to be in a camp/retreat center but I barely saw anyone the whole time I was there. Felt more like a ghost camp.

Great place, gorgeous!! The rooms are spare, but you don't need much. The setting is beautiful and there are plenty of wonderful restaurants nearby. They also offered yoga, archery, and a (cold) pool. Definitely would recommend!
