Walk-in Tent Site
Glampers Only!
I understand advertising on an app could have additional fees for the owners of a campground, but passing those on to the campers and having a f**** you attitude about it sucks. I wont be returning. I spoke to the man (no name, idk who he was even) who posted these prices about it in the morning because I had made a mistake with my booking, and the price tag of $430 for only 2 nights at a walk up campsite sounded wrong - I had paid it because I accidentally selected the wrong site thinking I was selecting something else. Instead of being baseline polite I was shouted down, "YOU paid for this, YOU should have double checked." Fair, but saying something like "Now you know better for next time." Instead of offering an upgrade if I paid the difference was rude. The price on this app is $70/night (base); on their own booking website it is $55/night (base). The walk up sites are also described as being dispersed - they are practically on top of each other, no matter which site and how much you pay; cabins too. So you will literally hear every time someone farts or coughs. The way fees are posted for pets on the app isn't as clear as their own website; I thought the pet fee was only $5 per the description, and that when I moved through the booking process it would only add $15/2nd pet/night.It is $30/night per pet. If you have kids or aren't planning on adventuring in big sur it's got everything you need and WAY more, but if you like calm secluded camping in nature this is isnt it.

Partial Hookups Tent Site W/E
Not as listed
Did not get the site that Hipcamp showed on our reservation. Very disappointed. There were a few other couples & families who were also disappointed like us. Although staff couldn't do much to change our site, they were very friendly. The grounds were nice. Clean bathrooms and plenty of space to lounge around on comfy furniture. Lots of activities for kids.

RV Site Full Hookups - 30ft & Under
The site was much smaller than the pictures depicted but it just made for a cozier trip. The campground was clean and well cared for and there are tons of amenities such as a heated pool and a sauna. The best part though was the hike. You follow the road up and enter into this magical moss covered forest that looks super cool and just a tiny bit creepy at dusk. We had a great time.

Walk-in Tent Site
The grounds are beautiful and extremely well kept. Everything is very clean. The tent sites were very spacious and the location of the property was perfect. Highly recommend!
