Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is nestled along the western slope of the Santa Lucia Mountains, 26 miles south of Carmel on California's iconic Highway 1. As Big Sur's largest campground, the park offers a stunning natural setting where coast redwoods tower above the Big Sur River as it winds through the forest. Campers can enjoy a variety of tree-covered sites suitable for tents, car camping, and RVs (motorhomes up to 32 feet, trailers up to 27 feet). The park features well-maintained amenities including restrooms with showers, a dump station, water hookups, picnic tables, fire grills, firewood, laundry facilities, and internet access. Pets are welcome at the campground. Hiking is a highlight, with scenic trails leading through redwood groves and along the Big Sur River, including the popular Pfeiffer Falls Trail. The on-site Ewoldsen Nature Center offers interactive exhibits on weekends, while Big Sur Lodge provides a café and grocery store for convenient supplies. Surrounded by one of California's most breathtaking stretches of coastline, the park serves as a perfect base for exploring the Big Sur region. Reservations can be made through ReserveCalifornia. Whether seeking peaceful forest walks or a gateway to Big Sur's legendary beauty, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park delivers an unforgettable outdoor experience.
