One of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever stayed in, anywhere in the world!
@BonnieL4277012 · Camped on Oct 21, 2025 at Campsite #10
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

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!!

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.

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.

@GrischkaG23208 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #28
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.
@IvanaM091389B3 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #20
It's one of our favorite camps. The views and the permanent sound of the ocean are absolutely amazing. There are many beautiful beaches around and places to do picnicking. The camp is clean, and has motivated and sympathetic camp Hosts. Till next time again.
@JoeA9101109 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #11
My wife and I had an amazing time for our 1st wedding anniversary at this beautiful camp site. We look forward to coming back again very soon. The campsite host was very friendly and nice.
@WooPDE2CCE44E6 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #6
Beautiful view of sea
@JBrandon5BD506 · Camped on Sep 3, 2025 at Campsite #26
Best campground on the Big Sur coast. Watch out for the raccoons!
@GinnyDCA0F1B2F · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #9
We loved our stay at Kirk Creek. The views are amazing!!
@SaraW4120773 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #7
One of a kind campground with amazing views!! The views alone are worth it. There is some raccoon action at night, so keep your food locked up!
@SeanN69E302D33 · Camped on Aug 21, 2025 at Campsite #12
Site 12 is one of the best spots to book! Prime ocean views on a hilltop, no poison oak in the direct camp site, and very large amount of space it has to offer. Proximity to the restrooms and trash bins were very close, but not close enough to be bothersome. No shade or trees, so bring a pop up tent as it does tend to heat up during the day. There is a small tree with some shade but a bit far from the main camp site. Its also situated right next to the camp host (Jesse). Restrooms are vaulted toilets and were relatively clean, shout out to Jesse and the clean campers on keeping conditions excellent. Firewood is available for sale from the camp host for $15 each, plenty of supply available as well. As stated in the campground itself, no running water, so do bring your own.Overall, this was one of my favorite camp grounds. My party took a tour at other camp sites and most were either hidden, blocked by brush, contained lots of poison oak, very small space, or had no ocean views at all.

it's great. Beautiful and clean and lovely...
@LouisDD7636F65 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #8
Beautiful setting !!! And kudos to the camp host... I have stayed here several times, and this was the best shape I have seen the campground. The host (I hope I get his name right... Jessie) was great.... it was as if he cared about the campground and our experience there.... Great job !!!

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.
