Host were nice. I had different camp sites for Sat and Sun. Host told me I could move to the other site on Sunday early if the people left before checkout. Unfortunately they did not, but still the hosts were ok with it. Restrooms and campground were clean. I felt safe. There’s not a lot of privacy between most campsites, but it’s Big Sur and it’s totally worth it! The beach is walking distance. Poison oak is overgrown everywhere so be careful (not at plaskett creek).
Highway 1 was closed down 8 miles out so we weren’t able to venture out much.

Campground is very pleasant with green grass and large cypress and oak trees which give lots of shade. Campsites were immaculate. Trails across Hwy 1 are numerous and interesting up on the bluff, but watch out for poison oak. Trail down to Sand Dollar Beach and Jade Cove are in serious need of repair. Overall, it's a great place to camp.

A single campsite next to us had three vehicles initially which later turned into four. Counted at least 15 campers in site. Nothing enforced by Host or Park Rangers as far as 2 vehicles max and 8 campers max. Bathroom was overran
