Stunning environment, from campground to coast. River running through the middle of the campground is a great place to put your lawn chair down and cool your feet on a hot day. Trees abound in the campground, and is a very family friendly place. (If you're allergic to poison oak, maybe stay elsewhere, because it's everywhere in the campground). The coastline along Big Sur is a bucket-list must see, and Monterey is only an 45 minute drive away, perfect for a day trip. 10/10 recommend this place.

one of my favorite state parks! wasn’t too crowded when I went and wonderful range of scenery. stayed by the creek and played for a bit, well kept and fairly accessible.

Pfeiffer Big Sur offers everything you could want in a park. Enchanting red wood trees, hiking galore, lots of little stores for supplies nearby, restaurants, and more. The campground has hot showers ($1 for 5 mins) and a dump station. And it’s a home base for one of the most beautiful stretches of America—and perhaps anywhere—that I’ve ever seen. It’s a land of towering cliffs alive with the breath of some unseen ocean creature who exhales a regular mist in the mornings and evenings that makes the land disappear. It is a painting by a master, magic by a wizard, a stretch of coastal perfection, nature so beautiful it seems unreal, like a postcard you want to climb inside of and mail to every human on planet earth: wish you were here.

Lovely park! We were camping here for 2 nights in December and the weather was perfect, not too cold :) The bathroom was clean and they had great hiking trails around the park. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful redwoods and trails along the Big Sur River. We did an easy trail along the river, but wished we had more time to check out some of the longer trails. The short trails did not offer any views of the coast. The cafe there was cute and gave us a chance to grab a snack on our way out.
