Suggestions for parking a camper in Monterey Area?

On Saturday (Memorial Day Weekend) I need to be in Monterey for an early outrigger race on Sunday morning. Normally I'd park my VW camper on a quiet residential street and call it a night - but my GF might come with and she gets creeped out about over-nighting in unsanctioned spots and the potential for ax murdering vacationers coming in through the windows.

Any recommendations for a private campground or other ideas on a holiday weekend?   

Thanks! Ross

You might get lucky if your early. Doubt it but you never know. Good luck. Your two options.

Find a WalMart.

I've never been here but just thought I'd throw it out for your consideration, on the North side of the town of Marina

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Looks kinda bleak, will check these places out.

Unfortunately California isn't Walmart camper friendly - the Walmarts I've checked out lately say they frown on overnighters b/c of a California law. 

They will be checking If you go out to moss landing. I've found you don't get bothered much in that area. Find a quiet spot but be prepared to move if asked.... Popping the top up is a dead giveaway...

Check out the CoastGuard Ramp at Monterey, last I remember they allow 24 hour parking so long as you pay. 

I spent the night in that lot in the back of a pickup in 1985 when I was doing my checkout scuba dive, What a zoo and sleepless night,

It was awhile ago tho

My new plan on that is to carry forsale signs. Slap one on each side "Camper For Sale" with a local number and park on a busy intersection = perfect explanation for the popped top and parked overnight! 

Unfortunately the little lady thinks this is all too contrived and likes the Sheraton mo' better 

Call wes schwab tires and ask if you can leave your car in their lot for work in morning then get emergency eeehhh gotta go.
