Big Sur Campground and Cabins

February 2009
We must have picked the wettest week to go camping. We arrived to the campground to find we had it basically to ourselves. There was one other RV and one other trailer and that was it. We were pushing it at this park with our 35 foot trailer. Our spot backed up to the river which was really cool especially with all of the rain. It was good that we were the only ones here, as it would not have felt so private otherwise. We were right in between a cabin and another trailer spot, on a crowded summer weekend, we may have been bummed, but it was not an issue during the time we were there.

The sites have a picnic table and fire pit as well as water and electricity hook-ups. There is a central dump station on the way out of the campground. The campground also has a children's playground, bathrooms with showers and laundry facilities. They also have a small store in case you forgot something. Despite the rain and the muddy campground, we had a great time and enjoyed having the place to ourselves. My daughter loved throwing rocks in the river. We would consider going back but for sure not during high season. It is also worth mentioning that the folks who own this place are super nice and everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful.

We did a day trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium while we camped here and the drive from Carmel to the campground is gorgeous.
