Just the absolute most stunning campsite, second time staying here, and it's just so unbelievably beautiful. Host was very kind and helpful at check-in.

The site was beautiful and the weather was excellent. The camp host, Justin, was responsive and kind. Those raccoons are no joke, though!
@DIANAR9292269 · Camped on Feb 10, 2026 at Campsite #26
Great campground with amazing views at every site. We didnt see any raccoons but camp host emptied trash throughout the day so they must be bad. We loved site 25 given there was storming one day and we were protected from wind.

The wonderful, attentive, energetic camp host Zach was a highlight of the stay. The views of the ocean are of course, incredible

One of the best campgrounds on the Pacific Coast. The best on Big Sur. Staff are taking good care of guests and facilities. Not for big rigs.

My new favorite coastal campground, incredible views and sunsets. A hiking trailhead across the road ( hard hike, no mountain bikes), my favorite beach 5 miles south: Sand Dollar Beach where I surf fished and caught some surf perch.Super nice and helpful camp host, bath rooms are vault toilets but were clean ( lighted at night). Also good base camp for bikers who want to ride Naciemento Ferguson road. Hearst Castle is about half an hour south.The campground and trails are dog friendly.Note that there is no water at the campground.

Beautiful location, views of the ocean, waves breaking at the shore! We had site #10, most likely somebody cancelled, otherwise we would still be trying to find an opening; this camp is fully booked year round and for good reason. Warning: Sites downwind from the restrooms may not be a good choice due to obvious reasons.

The location of Kirk campground is wonderful: overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Highway 1 south of Big Sur, HOWEVER for anyone staying with an RV, there was no mention of the significant site slope or the fact that it was a dirt pad where we would park. We were unable to get the rig leveled, and did not stay. After driving through the rest of the campground, we noticed many of the sites required leveling blocks. It would be great to include the details of each site in the online reservation portal. So sorry we could not stay, it was lovely!

We were in Site 28. Great views of the ocean. Very quiet place. The host Jessie (from our home town of Lompoc) was very friendly. We will definitely return.

Wonderful spot; incredible views. Very open, but almost no shade. Large, deep spot. Unfortunately, other campers often cut through the campsite to use the vault toilets.

Amazing views and each lot has plenty of space. Was not bothered by animals - just keep your food inside your tent/cvan.Local keeper friendly

The campground was spectacularly beautiful and clean with great access to beaches and hikes nearby. Our host, Michael, was simply exceptional. He told us all about local hikes and spots to check out, was so friendly, and in general made our weekend so memorable.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
