Big Sur CampingJulia Pfeiffer Burns [More]Hike in environmental campsites, like Molera. But nicer. And, cost more. Price here is $16 to $18 per day. We cannot explain the distinction in prices of the two sites. There are two sites, each accommodates up to 8 people. No water. No toilets. You have to hike back to the park entrance for those. The hike from the park's vehicle parking area is about 1/3 mile. But, the campsites can be reached from the road by foot (there's a closed gate at the trail to the camp sites), and that cuts the hike in half. The sites have a cupboard, table, typical camp charcoal stand, and a fire pit. Plaskett Creek Campground 36 miles south of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park 45 sites. Tables. Fire pits. Bathrooms.
