Big Sur Campground & Cabins

Big Sur Campground & Cabins is a privately owned campground on the Big Sur River in California, about a mile north of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. The setting under the redwoods is genuinely lovely and the river is the main draw: in summer the swimming holes here are some of the best in the corridor. It caters to a mix of tent campers, RVers and cabin renters, and the vibe leans toward families and couples rather than party crowds. It suits smaller rigs whose owners want river access and a base for the Big Sur coast.

Why RVers stay here

Roughly 30 of the 81 sites are RV sites with water and 20/30-amp electric, and there is a dump station on-site. Sites are modest in size, so fit depends on the assigned pad and the approach; call with complete rig dimensions so the operator can match you to current inventory. Rates are a live quote by dates and site type, booked online at bigsurcamp.com or by phone, and the campground is open year-round. Extras include a playground, basketball court, small camp store and summer inner-tube rentals. The trade-off is minimal cell signal and no sewer at the site.
