Great except no water in toilets, only portapotties. If it wasn't for that it would be awesome, but I love it here.

Beautiful site and friendly host. Our favorite part was a hike in Limekiln Park just north of the campground and was recommended to us by the host. We should have been better prepared for the fog and mist though! Everything got very wet including our tent and we had to pack it up damp the last day and air it out at our next stop. Beautiful location though.

A delightful retreat situated immediately off the PCH but quiet and peaceful thanks to the reduced traffic this year. A distinct slope means that just about all of the sites offer a challenge for tent campers to find a level area but this is Big Sur and the slope is part of the fun.
Portable toilets have replaced the permanent washrooms, they are cleaned daily and serviced weekly so no complaints but it would be nice to see the proper facilities brought back into operation.
Our hosts were friendly and helpful when "on duty" , firewood is available and campfires permitted. There are always walk-in / cycle-in sites available despite the "camp full" signs that adorn the gates.

It's a nice campground in a beautiful location on the California Central Coast. The only draw back is the limited amount of flat tent spaces.
