Camping Tips:

• Make sure you have cash on hand if you want to take a shower. Each 3 1/2 minutes is one dollar.
• Each campsite only holds 8 people and a max of two cars.
• It rains frequently so make sure to pack everything away at night.
• Bring your firewood. You cannot collect wood from the surrounding area, and they overcharge you in town.
• Big Sur is a tourist trap. If you forget to bring something or if you have to fill up your gas tank in the town it will cost you.
• Dogs are allowed in the campgrounds but not on the trails.
• There are numerous hiking trails walking distance from the campground.
• Poison Oak is all around. Stay out of the bushes!
