Big Sur Campground & Cabins

I was about to book our 2 night RV site for mid-June until I got to the total! WHAT?! $500?! To simply park our RV?! Oh- and it seems utterly ridiculous to me that pets are NOT allowed in RV sites but are allowed in tent sites! This makes zero sense to me, especially since my 2 King Charles Spaniels will be staying INSIDE my RV! Wow I sure hope the rest of CA parks aren’t this ridiculous!

Great for young kids and families. Super friendly staff, lots of casual amenities and river floats are a highlight for the days. The sites for camping are pretty packed in, and there's a lot of dust when the days are dry. They water it down regularly but it's worth mention. Again, super friendly and fun - close to so much of Big Sur's amazing ness that you can't go wrong.

I'm glad I waited until we left to write our review. When we first got here, we had no idea there was no WiFi or Cell Signal (even with boosters). Forget about getting a satellite signal with 150ft. Redwoods. Working on the road, this was a big problem. Especially when you are use to being plugged in (not to mention client expectations).

That all said, there are 2 brew pubs close by with adequate WiFi. One that opens early about 3 miles away. and the other that is 1/4 mile away that opens at 2. I wouldn't suggest coming here with a lot of online work to do. But if you can do most of it offline and plug in for a hour or two while drinking some craft beer, you'll do just fine. In fact, if you haven't unplugged in while you'll be happy you stopped in for a few days.

The trip up PCH1 is not bad. Just need to take your time and pull off on the many turnoffs to let the cars behind you pass by. If you have a off-road vehicle, Old Coast Road is a nice afternoon trip to get away from the crowds (we were in Big Sur during Spring Break).

This campground is pretty pricey, but most all are in this area. There are nice sites all over, though some are a little tight. I chose a site up on the hill and stayed away from the bigger families down by the river, though those spots looked nice as well . If you are looking for a family spot in Big Sur, this is it! Take a walk around, each cabin is quirky and different.

Camp underneath the redwoods and alongside a river, really a great spot.

Okay I loved the staff, super friendly and helpful. The campsites are lovely, we happened to be there after a lot of rain and were surrounded by lots of mud. Be prepared for zero service on anything...just enjoy the surroundings and pop out for sunshine cause you won’t see any under those redwoods;)

Loved the beautiful redwoods. Dark and damp. In a great location near state parks, beaches, waterfalls, etc. Very nice staff! Fit with 34 foot travel trailer. Tight turns though.

I don’t have levelers and this is the only place i’ve needed them. Backed in with my front wheels on the top of my legos I was still at a slant. This spot is actually going up the side of the mountain. I had a hard time getting in far enough for my hose to reach the water, and I’m only 23’.

Otherwise it’s a very nice campground, though no cell service at all. We walked out of the driveway and to the right up to the library which does have cell service.

The sites are nestled between enormous redwoods and some back up to the river.

Sites are dirt and it stays fairly muddy on the sites and road. Take a tarp or something to cover your RV entry space.

They have a nice general store with camping amenities and firewood. Gated access.

NO WIFI or CELL service. you can get wifi just down the road in front of the local library.

Lots of tent campers and kids.

Our site was right by the river which, amazingly, is flowing in September. Could hear the gentle gurgling sound all night.

Facilities are clean and well maintained. They have sites for tents, rvs, or rent a cabin.

Super friendly folks always helpful with suggestions on where to hike or eat.

Site has a pretty nice playground that the kids seem to love. About 20 little people all over it at 8 am on a Saturday. If kids are not your thing try weekday when its slower and they are in school.

Very pretty location. Like the rest of Big Sur, lacking service and no WiFi.

Bathroom and showers were clean.

Neighbors were great.
