@gabbettfamilytravels: 🏁 The coolest campground in California that no one is talking about. We stayed at Laguna Seca Recreation Area — yes, you can literally camp at @weathertechraceway — and it was one of the best spontaneous family trips we’ve ever taken (we totally found this place on accident!) 📍 Located in Monterey County on California’s Central Coast, just minutes from downtown Monterey, Carmel, and Pebble Beach. It’s the perfect stop on a Central Coast road trip and an easy 20 minute drive into downtown Monterey. We woke up to Porsches practicing on the track. The kids were absolutely glued. No race needed — there are driving activities on the track nearly every day of the year. If your kids are obsessed with cars, this is your real-life Cars movie moment. 🚗💨 Here’s why we loved it: ✅ Campsites with direct views of the track ✅ Stunning views of the Salinas Valley & Monterey hills ✅ Options for everyone — full hookups to tent camping ✅ Playground for the kids + clean restrooms ✅ Only ~$50/night ✅ Friendly staff & 24-hour security ✅ Minutes from Monterey, Carmel & Pebble Beach 🔥 Pro tip: They have a dedicated event only campground even closer to the action (of course we plan on checking this out next time!) Spots fill fast — check weathertechraceway.com for 2026 event dates! 📌SAVE this post so you don’t lose it when you’re planning your next family trip! 💬 Tag someone who needs to bring their car-obsessed kid here ASAP! 🧑🧑🧒🧒 Follow us for more hidden gem California adventures the whole family will love! #CaliforniaCamping #FamilyCamping #MontereyCA #CampingWithKids #californiaroadtrip
