From jct Hwy 129 & Hwy 101: Go 1 mi N on Hwy 101 (Betabel Rd exit), then 1 block W, then 1/4 mi S on Betabel Rd (west frontage road).
Nice location tucked away in hills & trees. Clean, well kept. Firm rules, but that's what keeps this place nice. I would recommend to anyone coming in the area to work or leisure. 10 min outside of Gilroy & Mission San Juan Baptista, safe and no transients. Nice place to vacation with friends and family. Gated and monitored. Store in the front office with a lot of supplies and food items. Prices are reasonable. Laundry services are affordable. Friendly staff. They have storage for your RV, so when you have to leave, your RV is safe. During holidays like 4th of July & Labor Day they have a live band and food for their guests. We stayed at another RV location in Gilroy, and Betabel is so much cleaner, and did I mention SAFE.
We have stayed at Betabel multiple times over the past two years. It’s a nice park, well-maintained, and friendly staff. When we checked in a few weeks ago, they still had all our information, including our Good Sam discount, on file, and we confirmed it on the telephone during the reservation. We checked in this past week, after making the same reservation procedure, but later noticed the bill did not include the Good Sam discount.
Their only response was, “Sorry, you’re responsible to notify us at the time of “check-in” that you have any discounts. It is posted several places.”
I could see if we discovered it after we had checked out and closed out the account. However, we’re mid-stay this week, and brought it to their attention. Despite that, Pam declined to honor the discount, even though we discussed it on the phone during the reservation process.
FYI to Travelers, make sure you present your Good Sam credentials every time when checking in. We did not “present” our discount on the prior occasions, but beware.
Stayed for 3 nights. Park is very clean and organized. Sites are pretty spacious but not huge nor small. We have a 30 foot 5th wheel. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Lots of grass areas for dogs plus a dedicated fenced-in dog area that we didn't use because it was on the other side of the park from us. The only downside if there is a downside is that there are a lot of campers here. However, the park was quiet and very little noise in the evening. The park is located centrally to many areas to explore including Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, the town of Gilroy and a factory outlet mall just outside of Gilroy. Gilroy has an area within the town called the "Taco Trail" due to the numerous Taquerias located here. Definitely try these if you are in town. We had some of the best breakfast burritos in town. This area is dubbed the "Salad Capital of the World" because of the acres and acres of vegetables being grown here. Just outside of Gilroy is considered the Garlic Capital of the world and before you get to Monterey it's considered the "Artichoke" Capital of the world. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice RV Park in a nice location. Central to San Juan Bautista, Watsonville, Gilroy, Hollister, Salinas, and Monterey. It's between Hwy 101 and the railroad but it remains pretty quiet. The WiFi sucks but that's typical for nearly every RV park.
What A great place to stay. I am so sorry that we only got to stay 1 night. The rv spots are very spacious and clean. The bathroom, laundry and grounds were kept immaculate. The lady at the front desk that checked us in was so sweet and kind to us. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back.
