The motel rooms are cozy and nice, the bed is comfy. However, the walls and windows are extremely thin. You can hear EVERYTHING- from cars driving outside to guests talking next door. We are not light sleepers but we could not sleep.

Wonderful campground and hotel with direct access to hiking trails and the state Park. The restaurant is excellent, campsites clean, shaded and quiet. The store has anything you may need. Staff is very friendly. Make reservations in advance as it fills up.

Location is wonderful -- surrounded by sequoias, and right on the river. We stayed in the tent cabins. The prices are crazy high, but that's what the private campgrounds go for here. Definitely avoid staying in the motel on weekends, as they always have loud music till 1am then; but down by the river it was not too bad. Camp in a state park if you can, but if everything is full, this is not a bad option if you can drop $200 a night.

We had a blast staying here! We brought our toddler and stayed in one of the cabins. The cabin was nice and clean and had all of the amenities we needed (except for a microwave). We liked that even though we stayed in a cabin, it still felt like we camped! This place has everything you need, from epic nature to a restaurant, tavern, camp store, laundry facilities, etc. There’s no need to even leave the campground lol. We recommend buying all of your groceries/spices/oil/etc in advance. The river is also very nice and relaxing. The prices are steep, however, but the experience is worth it.

First of all: the staff were amazing. Friendly smiles and helpful at every turn. This is not a place for an escape from reality or any kind of peace and quiet. We didn’t realize before booking how close the sites were from each other; like a wooded parking lot. We had zero privacy whatsoever and could see and hear every other site in the campground from our site, and were about 5ft from our neighbors on every side. For the $155/night we paid for the site, I could not recommend this place to anyone. Campsites are hard to come by in Big Sur, which is how we ended up here by default. If you are a family looking for a place to bring your young kids for the first time, or if you’re brand new to camping, this place might still be for you. Otherwise, you might seek a better alternative. We hope for new management in the future 🤞
