This site is truly the stuff of dreams. Loved every second of it.

Beautiful campground with stunning ocean views. Each campsite seems to have great views, you cant go wrong with selection. There is a short scenic hike down to the beach that you can access right from the campsite. Easily accessible off the PCH and you feel safe knowing other campsites are occupied around you while still maintaining a sense of privacy. Would 10/10 recommend this was our best camping experience yet. Only negative was that there was no running water (adds to the whole true camping experience) and that the bathrooms were pretty disgusting (but I was told by staff that it was due to the recent closure of part of the PCH so it is what it is).

My favorite place to go camping in Big Sur! The campsite was beautiful with views of the ocean and the camp hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming! Have been here 2 times already!

Very quiet and comfortable. I was satisfied with my stay for 3 days.The downside is that the toilet is not flush and there is no running water. However, the environment is so good that all other shortcomings are offset.

We came upon this incredible campground 18 years ago and have wanted to return. We finally made it! And it is as beautiful as we remembered. Admittedly, our 35' fifth wheel is a bit on the large size for the campground. The roads are narrow and while it is fairly open - there are rocks and occasional curbs which make it more challenging in places. This also made backing in to spaces more challenging. Remember that the length stated on the website is trailer AND tow vehicle space. Most of the spaces have a great view, as it is nicely laid out and sites are reasonably spaced. Hosts were congenial and helpful. Note there is no wifi or cell service here or for about 30 minutes north and south. Poison oak is abundant, so watch yourself on the trail to the beach. We had site 6 which we fit in and had a great view. Make sure to come with water - there is none here.

Kirk creek provides the opportunity for camping on the Big Sur coast with quiet and extraordinary natural beauty. The night skies were fabulous. The campground hosts were wonderful: always helpful and with good information.
On the negatives: the bathrooms seemed overused. Perhaps signage telling people to keep the toilet with down would help with the odor and flies. And couldn’t the campground hosts be provided with lime that would help with the smells?
The raccoons were a huge problem. They climbed all over my car leaving muddy footprints and left punctures in my tent.
Seems like fewer trash cans with bear proof handles are overdue!
