DISCOVER THE ADVENTURE
BIG SUR CAMPING



BIG SUR CAMPING OFFERS SOME OF THE MOST
SPECTACULAR SCENERY IN THE WORLD


Visit Monterey County, travel scenic Highway 1 South along the Northern California coastline, and you will happily discover the Big Sur area where you'll find Redwood forests, rocky coastline, sandy beaches, mountains, canyons, gurgling streams, meadows and oak trees...



CAMPING ALONG THE BIG SUR COAST

What could be more intrinsic than to yearn to camp in all that natural beauty? Well, lucky for us, there are many opportunities for camping in Big Sur!

And while you're camping in the area, you'll find plenty to keep you entertained! There are many great hikes you'll want to explore - along the coastal trails, the beaches, and into the forests.


Explore the many State Parks, the beaches, and wilderness areas for such activities as river tubing, jade hunting, and wildlife viewing - especially coastal birds, sea otters, and sea mammals.

Go horseback riding, skinny dip at the Esalen Institute, visit the
Spirit Garden, have drinks on the Nepenthe deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean, visit Big Sur's historic lighthouse.

Big Sur offers all of that and more, but we're here to camp, so let's get on with it!



BIG SUR CAMPGROUNDS

Big Sur campgrounds are as varied along the California coast as
their surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful!

You'll find campgrounds in the State Parks, and also private campgrounds. You can camp alongside a stream, or atop an ocean bluff overlooking the Pacific, in a meadow, or amid the redwoods. You can even hike-in and camp the backcountry.

There's tent and RV camping - plus cabins, and tent cabins, and A-frames - you can even camp in a yurt!

Sorting Through Your Camping Opportunities:

There are 14 major campground areas in Big Sur, and they can be sorted in several different ways. I've tried, here, to group them in ways that will make it easy for you to find what you're looking for.

And most of these campgrounds offer tent camping as well as RV camping. (For really useful information about RVing, check out my friends at Everything About RVing.)




All you have to do is pick a campground grouping that appeals to you and discover the Big Sur campground of your camping dreams!

Big Sur Backcountry Camping
There are approximately 237 miles of hiking trails in the Santa Lucia Mountains. That equates to LOTS of opportunity for backcountry primitive camping!

These Forest Service campgrounds don't always have all the facilities you might want, but there are lots of reasons to consider them.
