Definitely check out this website:

I used it to find a campsite in Big Sur, last time I went. It gives a good overview of all the places and lets you book online. You should know that Big Sur is a hugely popular place to camp, especially in the spring. Some of the best places are fully booked for months in advance. So, start planning now! It is also a little pricier to camp there for this reason..but, definitely worth it!
I have stayed at Riverside Campground, which is close to most of the restaurants. So, if you get tired of hot dogs, you can walk over for a glass of wine/beer or a nicer meal. Riverside Campground and Big Sur Campground and Cabins right next door are both situated on the Big Sur river underneath large beautiful redwoods. So, they are really beautifula and you are close to many hiking trails and beaches. They both seemed nice and the showers are hot. The tent sites are a little close together.
I have heard that Ventana campgrounds are the best if you want beauty(they are in a box canyon full of redwoods) and some comforts of home. If you want to go nicer, try Treebones which is rustic yurts over the Pacific(but, very expensive).
You can't really go wrong in Big Sur. It is such a magical place! Be sure and have a drink while watching the sunset at Nepenthe Restaurant's deck.
Enjoy your trip and hope this helps!

Best Big Sur camping spot (quiet, nice views, secluded)?
tey123
Taking a road trip to northern California in early june and was deciding on camping in Big Sur for two nights. Have never camped here and looking at all the websites and reviews has me a bit overwhelmed. Does any one have any good experiences with a quiet secluded, and beautiful site? We will not be on the weekend, so i think they should be less crowded, but we definitely want a camping experience. Was looking at Limekiln state park but the website says its currently closed to the public! also thinking of Bottchers Gap... thoughts??

I've enjoyed Julia Pfeiffer Burns and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Parks in the past but just like everywhere else in the area they get washed out pretty good in the winter and it takes awhile for all the trails to reopen.
