Big Sur Happy Place
This spot is amazing! We went for New Year's for a couple of nights and it was magical. Camp-firing by the creek, walking to the ocean, and chilling with the sweetest cat ever, Noche, was fantastic. 10 stars, highly recommend!!

We loved camping next to Mill Creek at Dabudage. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed to stay fueled and the bath house was so healing. You could see the ocean from most spots on the land and the friendly kitties kept us entertained. I’m ready to go back and spend more time there! 🤗

My best friend and I spent a night at the Redwood and we loved it so much! The view and the property itself was beautiful. Definitely be prepared and bring extra blankets. Gene asked us if we needed extras too! Truly worth going if youre looking to make camping with a twist. We’re definitely gonna be back anytime we visit the area again! Thank you Gene!

Gorgeous glamping spot by the water
We loooved the property! Super charming. The bath house was magical. Beautiful spot tucked away right by the water. Gorgeous views. The cats were cute but a bit annoying, aggressively trying to take our food.

Slice of Heaven
This was a little piece of heaven tucked away right off the 1 Highway before the closure up Big Sur. My girlfriend and I stopped to camp here before heading to Monterey for our anniversary and we had THE best time here. The highlight of this site was the two baby kitties who followed us around and the babbling creek right next door to our tent. The fog spilling over the mountains and the trees surrounding us made us feel like we were on another planet, it was so beautiful one could cry. The land had pretty much everything you need including a bathroom, shared kitchen, fire pits, tables for eating, a hammock, nice people and a shower. Definitely not glamping but just to be able to stay in a beautiful part of Big Sur was worth the drive, the no reception and rugged camping. Will ABSOLUTELY come back and bring everyone I know.

G & Bri were so sweet and helpful, they took great care of us! The property is absolutely beautiful and there are 2 equipped out door kitchens. Our cabana was clean and even had extra blankets, they thought of everything!
