Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Limekiln State Park adventure.
A perfect intro to Big Sur, Limekiln serves up peaceful walks, crashing surf, and scenic camping "from the Redwoods to the Sea."
Explore the rugged beauty of the south Big Sur Coast, coastal redwoods, and one of the steepest coastal canyons in the country, largely away from the crowds, at Limekiln State Park. Highlights include a small rock and sand beach, cascading creeks, hiking trails through redwood lined canyons that lead to a 100-foot waterfall, the remnants of four historic limekiln furnaces, and stunning coastal views. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf or wake up to a view of the redwoods—the park’s campground offers nine developed campsites near a beach or among the redwoods along Limekiln Creek.
Spring, summer, and fall are the most popular times at the park, with the peak over summer when weekends are especially popular and campsites book up well in advance. Expect fog in the mornings even in summer, look for migrating whales in winter, and spot wildflowers in spring.
