Answer
Depends on when you are going and what type of amenities you are looking for. At Pfiffer big sur weyland site 166 is pretty secluded. and they got all the sissy stuff like water and showers etc. If you want more seclusion i.e. nobody around and dont care about showers etc, the bomb thing in that area is the Ventana Wilderness (also alot cheaper). if you hike in a bit you can be alone. just try to steer away from the private run campgrounds around there most of them are overcrowded and pretty much blow. plus they get real bitchy about noise, better to rough it a bit and not have to deal with someone whining.

Big Sur camping recommendations?
xXBluXx
I live near Big Sur, and I have been there multiple times. As a sort of celebration, a few friends and I are hoping to go backpacking and enjoy some peace and seclusion. However, I despise those huge RV campsites, even when they are empty. We don't need utilities (not even water). Is there any quiet, remote camp ground out in big sur? Any distance under 6 miles is fine. In fact, I'd prefer something that isn't road accessible.
Oh, and is dispersed camping allowed anywhere in Big Sur? That would be optimal.
We'd also love to be near some sort of river or creek, but that isn't necessary.
Thanks for your help!

Los Padres National Forest
One of the great treasures of the United States, the Los Padres National Forest is 1.75 million acres of diverse parkland, including many unspoiled, primitive wilderness areas. The Los Padres National Forest offers over 300 miles of rugged Big Sur hiking trails, as well as some of the best unspoiled Big Sur campsites.
Los Padres National Forest spans five counties: Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Kern. In Monterey County, Los Padres National Forest extends through Big Sur and out toward the Salinas Valley. It houses redwood groves, the California condor, and provides a refuge for 468 species of fish and wildlife, as well as endangered and sensitive plant species.
Camping
Los Padres National Forest houses 11 campgrounds holding many of Big Sur's campsites, ranging from primitive hike-in sites to fully featured modern campgrounds with showers that are capable of accommodating RVs of all sizes. Some campgrounds in Los Padres National Forest offer hunting, fishing, hiking, cycling, and horseback riding.
See the US Forest Service's Los Padres National Forest website for a list of every campsite in the Monterey District, as well as detailed information on each. Once you find one you like, visit Recreation.gov to make your Big Sur camping reservation
