One of my favorite camping spots in Big Sur! Michael, Punky and Bubba the dog are welcoming are delightful camp hosts that made our visit all the more enjoyable. Their knowledge of the area is incredible. We will definitely be back.

I very much enjoyed my stay. It was my first camping trip as a solo (female) camper. I felt welcomed and looked out for by the camp hosts. The only downside is a lot of large families and many kids running around, so if you're looking for a more tranquil spot, Kirk Creek might be a better choice.

Absolutely loved this campground. It's right across the highway from the ocean side, and from a few campsites in the campground you can actually see and hear the ocean through the trees. Decent size campground that is well kept with potable water and bathrooms (no running sink water). Lots of beautiful trees and some open area. Our campground had a campfire pit and also a separate standing grill you can use charcoal with. Our grounds keepers also provided firewood bundles for $15, and an optional fire starter for $5 that worked really well.
Our grounds keepers were amazing and very attentive, informative, and so helpful. Shout out Michael and Punky, you guys made the trip for us. Very positive energy and availability to the campers. They recommended a couple spots for sight seeing and hiking, including Kirk Creek Trail which we hiked all the way up to the flats which was fantastic. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Great place to be with access to Sand Dollar Beach and bluffs trails. Good camping sites with trees and grass. Campground hosts were helpful and friendly. Bathrooms were clean.
