We arrived after sunset with our 30ft RV to our reserved Site 35. Before I book a spot, I always check pad length, pictures, and read as much as I can. We were sad to arrive and see there was such a huge slope, there would be NO WAY we could level our RV. It was about a 3 ft difference from front to back. The campground was full. We were going to have to back track and drive 1.5 to San Simeon. Lucky for us when we went to see if we could get a refund , the camp host had someone not like their site (#11) . We were able to switch, thank goodness. Definitely, not a site I would ever chose ( right next to restrooms, but……. level!
I just wish when putting in the filters, when booking online, it would keep something like this from happening.
Otherwise, it’s a great campground. So many beautiful places to explore nearby.

I prefer Plaskett to Kirk Creek because of the immediate access to Sand Dollar Beach and fewer crowds

Beautiful area with close access to beach. We hike the Vincente Flat Trail into the Ventana Wilderness. Trailhead is just 5 miles north. Very comfortable sites spaced apart from one another.

Perfect location for Big Sur activities. Sand Dollar Beach is great and a short walk away.
