This is one of the more beautiful coastal areas in the USA where i have been camping, hiking & relaxing for over 40 years. I thoroughly enjoy every visit regardless of the season & weather. Campsite is very well appointed & just across the road from the stunning coast & ocean.

The camp hosts were so amazing and accommodating of our needs. They were so responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay including awesome references to nearby hikes and drives! 10/10 experience because of them and how clean the campsite was

It’s a beautiful location with friendly staff. My only complaint is the lack of water in the restroom sinks.

The campground host was so helpful, accommodating and present. The grounds & facilities were clean, spacious and so dark and quiet at night that it was one of our best star viewing stays. A short walk on paths to the ocean cliffs across the road allowed for viewing of sea otters at Jade Cove, Pelicans from Mill Creek to Sand Dollar Beach and whale watching everywhere. A short walk and path with stairs down to Sand Dollar Beach gives you a beautiful stretch of beach and waves crashing against rocks & churning blue around them. Sunset views are good from anywhere with an incredible view from the Forest Service Road just above the campground. I stayed late in February.

What an amazing little gem in an already beautiful place! We are cyclists and like to ride gravel so this was right ON the “Lost Roads of Big Sur” gravel route! It was awesome. Clean and quiet! If you have a small campervan - site 10 is the best.
