In my opinion site 9 had the best view of the ocean. The only drawbacks was that site 8 sits too closely.Also the trail is right next to site 9 so many people pass through. During sunset people seemed to stand directly in front of the campsite so you're view is of people staring at the sunset. Overall the campground looked well kept. Pit restrooms are just as you'd expect. One thing I noticed is that the campground felt extremely empty. It seems many people reserve the spots without arriving. Frustrating since it took me years to finally get a spot due to the competitiveness.

Beautiful site, well and the campground seemed well cared for. But I do think the campground either needs to relocate the 5 marauding racoons terrorizing sites, or provide bear boxes! Racoons are as persistent as bears!

Amazing views!

Gorgeous campsite feet from the stunning ocean and located directly across from an amazing hike. Very kind staff. Only thing is to watch out for the raccoons :)

Beautiful.
@JeffD9403272 · Camped on Nov 5, 2025 at Campsite #22
Stayed there in spot #22 on a rainy Wednesday. Great overall experience despite the wet weather. Got lucky and got spot 22 which is on the end of the north loop overlooking the water. What an awesome spot.As most reviews mentioned, the raccoons were persistent, not aggressive but didn't give up trying to go through our site looking for food. My dog scared them away for the most part but while we were in our tents and vehicles sleeping they went through everything even though we left no food or trash out.Then the next morning there was a lot of flies which I wasn't expecting. There was enough to discourage us from cooking breakfast there so we left early to get food in Cambria.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever stayed in, anywhere in the world!

It was delightful falling asleep to the sound of surf.
@ArnaldoS074219 · Camped on Oct 21, 2025 at Campsite #1
Beautiful campground right at the heart of Big Sur. I will definitely come back and stay a little longer.

No water; be prepared
@PatriciaB22981 · Camped on Oct 20, 2025 at Campsite #21
I want to thank the camp hosts for keeping the campgrou d open and supplied during the shutdown. Only problem was the fog, not their fault
@SusanV9DD19D31 · Camped on Oct 15, 2025 at Campsite #16
Put toilets were better than we expected. Camp host was friendly. We skipped the trail to the beach because of too much poison oak, so beware if you have kids!And our top top: To avoid the aggressive raccoons that like to steal food, eat dinner and get food away before dark. That means locking your food in the car. If you do smores, keep the marshmallows and fixings on someones lap! The raccoons got out neighbors potato chips and almost got food from our car when I literally walked to the side door from the open hatch for 10 seconds. They move in quickly!!
@JasonS8132232 · Camped on Oct 9, 2025 at Campsite #25
The campground hosts are fantastic! The place is kept clean and has a friendly atmosphere. I always enjoy coming to this place because of location and natural beauty. Its a plus when your fellow campers are in a great mood.
@MelcharJD51F9B · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #14
Perfect view with an amazing camp host Michael He helps us to the breathtaking trails around the camp site also helps us to find a spot so we can extend our stay
@Christina41928 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #27
In addition to this being a bucket list campground, the camp host Michael was one of the kindest I've ever come by camping. Such a personable and generous individual! Made our camping experience even better.
@AndrewN7047886 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #8
Our camphost, Michael, was fantastic. Provided a bunch of places to check out around the campground. Site 8 was very open, with plenty of room for 2 families. Highly recommend coming.

Perfect tiny campground !!! Calm with amazing point of view !
@AlanD7186329 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #22
Amazing location. If your goal with camping is to wake up in a beautiful spot in nature, this is it. Yes, there is no running water or showers here. We were well set up with 10 gallon supply for 2 nights, your needs may vary. We were there for the gentle pounding of the surf below the cliffs, some nearby trails and hikes, and the incredible sunsets right at your tent flap. Truly everything we hoped for, will return.
@BeverlyB160635 · Camped on Sep 16, 2025 at Campsite #13
We really enjoyed the campsite (#13) and location! We hiked Vicente Flat trail through the redwoods and enjoyed some beautiful views of turquoise sea from above. Our campsite was private and had a nice view. The area next to the driveway had poison oak plants that had been trimmed but were still impossible to avoid stepping on. Removing/treating the poison oak underfoot at the campsite would be a helpful service so campers can avoid tracking it around their tent and car. We attempted to hike the trail down to the beach, but it was overgrown with poison oak and did not appear to have been maintained for several months. More attention to poison oak remediation in heavily traveled areas would make this campsite excellent. 4 stars reflects the indifference to campers getting infected by poison oak.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
