Best Western Camping in USA Part 7

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, California

Why It's Cool: Big Sur is amazing! The photo above is proof of how beautiful Big sur is. Located along scenic Highway One approximately 140 miles south of San Francisco, the popular park sits along the western slope of the Santa Lucia Mountains. Once you get your campsite settled, you're just a short drive or hike away from Pfeiffer Beach, a must-see alcove. Just note: Pfeiffer Beach is not a California State Park, so there's a separate entrance fee.
Where to Camp: Pitch your tent along the Big Sur River, which winds its way through the state park, for the best views. There are more than 175 RV and tent sites situated on or near the river, including two group tent sites and a hike/bike site, both of which are free of RVs. Since this spot is so popular, sites fill up quickly. As a result, reservations are highly recommended and can be made up to seven months in advance.
When It's Open: Big Sur is open year-round, but peak season is March to September.
Cost: The camping fee for a standard site is $35. A premium riverfront site will run you $50, plus a $7.50 reservation fee. For more information, visit the park's website.
It is always great to have a emergency firestarter even if it is just to start a campfire at night.
