Trails are varied, but nothing physically challenging. Directions: Address is 1154 The Dunes Rd. Hwy 1 to Pebble Beach/Pacific Grove/Hwy 68W exit. Head towards Pacific Grove on 68W. It becomes Forest Ave as you enter PG. Turn left on Sunset Dr. Turn left onto 17 Mile Dr. At the gate let them know that you are with MBE and they will let you pass. After Spanish Bay turn right to stay on 17 Mile Dr. After passing Bird Rock look for The Dunes Rd on your left. Turn onto The Dunes Rd (you will see the Gingerbread House) and drive through the gate into the Indian Village. Note: Do NOT enter 17 Mile Dr. from the Pebble Beach entrance which is right off of Hwy 1. This will take FOREVER!

A few of us are planning on going to Rancho Oso RV Park & Horse Camp in Santa Barbara instead since Skillman is canceled. The proposed dates would be October 4 8 based on availability. I m happy to host a MBE campout there if anyone is interested. Please let me know if you are truly interested so I know if its worth my time to research group rates/reservations and availability. Here is some information if interested. Rancho Oso RV Park & Horse Camp Amenities https://rvonthego.com/horse-camping-western-village.
