📌 Pro tips for visiting

• Book early! Campsites fill up months in advance, especially in summer.
• Bring layers. Big Sur’s coastal weather can be unpredictable.
• Pack light. There’s a short walk from the parking area to your campsite.
• Use their firewood. Outside wood isn’t allowed due to environmental regulations.
• Shower tokens are needed, so grab some at the campground store.

🏰 Best time to go

The best time to visit is spring through fall, when the weather is mild and the trails are in top condition. Winter camping is possible but comes with cooler temperatures and occasional rain.
