Pfeiffer Big Sur Campground Reviews from The Last Year
Pfiefer Big Sur State Park, Big Sur, CA, March 31,
Pfiefer Big Sur State Park, Big Sur, CA, March 31, 2024 Let me just say, for starters, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is a great destination. I am pleased that they have been doing a little bit better job trimming the overhead trees that go over the roadways into the campsites. When we were here a few years ago, many of the trees were overgrown and the top of our RV was impacted. We made reservations a few months back for the Easter weekend to celebrate it with my son and his husband. We were in the RV, and they were in a tent. We drove in on a windy Friday morning and arrived right about noon. They weren't checking people to the campground until about 12:30, so we asked if we could go dump our tanks and get freshwater. The Ranger at the front kiosk was very gracious and said we could take care of those tasks and then come back at 12:30. That's what we did and everything worked out very well for the rest of the check-in. Friday night and much of the day Saturday, we had some pretty torrential downpours of rain with wind, lightning, and thunder. I don't know what the official rain total was, but I've heard it was over 2 inches in 24 hours. When we awoke Sunday morning, we had calm blue skies and our spirits were lifted. Unbeknownst to us, there had been a road slip out the night before. They closed off Highway one afterwards. Suddenly, we were being told we were stranded and would not be able to go back north. As you can imagine, we were concerned we might be trapped for many weeks or even possibly months until they got the road repaired. Fortunately, CalTrans determined that the road on the northbound side would be usable to accommodate an evacuation. Before we knew it, we had packed up and were on the road to be part of a 4 PM convoy out of Big Sur. Everything went smoothly and we were able to get out of the area. We originally had planned to stay until Tuesday. However, we had to cut our trip short because of the road situation and mandatory evacuation. The state park was very gracious and refunded our money for the days that our trip was cut short. We probably won't be coming back again during the rainy season when road slip-outs and landslides are more likely to close the road.
Beautiful state park showing off some of the best nature in California.
A beautiful state park that really captures the California Coast. Many great walks and a good place to have a picnic. If you're travelling in this part of California -a must see.
Ok, so my family has camped here off and on for over 20
Ok, so my family has camped here off and on for over 20 years. Decided to book 2 nights thinking it would be cold making it less crowded but to our surprise sign out front said "Campgrounds full" but the one next to us had a reserve sign on it but no one checked in on either nights. We did still book this 6 months in advance. One BIG thing that has changed over the years is the cost to stay in a regular campsite cost $50.00 no matter which site you pick. I remember in the past only a prime campsite on the river cost this much and the other spots cost 35.00. Plus if you have an extra car it's another 10 dollars a night. Then $12 cash only for a bundle of firewood that might last you 2 fires tops. Now for the spot we picked was campsite #165. Only fit our Ford Transit Van and the entrance was a sludgy mud puddle! The main table was broken off by a big tree limb that was chopped up in a pile that also had a pile of toilet paper near it. YUCK! Not a great welcome but we made the best out of it, to say the least. Gorgeous tall and bushy redwoods galore. Had beautiful full moon nights with lots of stars up above. Some peace and quiet besides a few disrespectful neighbors rolling in late with surrounding bright lights on their van but hey we can't have it being perfect LOL Nearby was the river which was flowing pretty well this time of year. Did a morning hike to Buzzard Roost, which was steep but worth the views. For the most part, it was a great time, riding bikes and hiking but will definitely pick a different spot. Something with more sun. Planning another trip in May with family so hopefully, we will have a better spot but we know we still will have fun every time we come down here. Plus it's only an hour from home:)

You can hike in or you can drive in, either way in my opinion it's worth it. Gorgeous view of the sunset if you go at that time, which I do recommend.
Interesting park with redwood trees.
Interesting park with a lot of redwood trees, some very big and impressing. Several trails from short and easy to longer and therefore more tiering ones. There is a Waterfall Trail but at this time it is closed but you can reach the fall via the Pfeiffer Valley Trail. There are possibilities to stay overnight in the park.
This state park is incredible with views on both sides of
This state park is incredible with views on both sides of the Hwy. The road is narrow and curvy so come prepared if you get carsick. There are lot of pullouts on Hwy 1 as you drive down to the park. Lime Kiln was my favorite hike, but that burnt in 2020 and has yet to reopen as has that section of the Hwy so you can't drive Hwy 1 the whole distance. Tan Bark Trail is an enjoyable 4.7 mile hike if you're looking for a hike that nicely blends the deep, dark, ferny, redwood forest part with the iconic rugged CA coastline. This trail is classified "hard" by AllTrails app probably due to the 2,043 foot gain. It can be steep. There are steps through part of it. It is a loop trail and generally takes people 4hrs to complete. For a smaller hike, we decided to try out Big Sur River Gorge Trail. It's 1.1 out and back. Not one I'd recommend if you like cutting out into nature. You're on a road for most of the walk. Then you're walking through the campground. At least you exit the campground to the trail, but then there's only maybe a few hundred feet left of trail. It's pretty though.
Worth a stop
Beautiful stop. Check out the swimming hole in the river by Day Use Parking 2 - the sun breaking through the trees turns patches turquoise. There is of course the more challenging Gorge Trail (you will get wet). The redwood boardwalk is worth a look. The Pfeiffer falls trail was closed when we went. Pfeiffer beach is closeby and worth visiting too, but not actually in the state park.
Beautiful morning walk
Walked the beach in the morning. The beach and surf was perfect. Very cool keyhole arch with other rock formations to climb and explore. Next day walked up to the falls and valley view. The cafeteria is pretty good.
We stayed at the campground for one night.
It is a very large campground that runs along the river. Lots of trails and things to do here. Most campsite are shaded. If you can book in advance there are some sites that are right beside the river that looked fun for kids. We stayed at site 19. Average site. Very clean and well shaded. Bathrooms were also pretty clean. We were pretty close to the camp host and he was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back here
Always a great place to reset.
The trail up to the waterfall had been closed for a few years now, an alternate route had been created. Helpful hint: along the drive down here from the north, heed the message board just before heading up past Pt. Logos, it will usually tell you road conditions to Big Sur and if there are road closures and / or delays. Today's message was road closed 38 miles south of Big Sure on Hwy 1. Watch out for pedestrians crossing the highway on those blind corners.
It was beautiful.
We were in awe of the beauty. We were in space 45... a pretty nice spot. I am disabled and it is considered a disabled spot. What makes it disability friendly is that it has an asphalt pad for the rv. HOWEVER, the asphalt is buckling and has huge mounds. Not the best for a lady with a cane. The lodge had a really good salmon salad. Hidden gem: the general store down the road has THE BEST burrito prepared on site.
Went to Pfeiffer Big Sur SP two times this month, last time
Went to Pfeiffer Big Sur SP two times this month, last time was Sat 6/17/23. Hiked Buzzard Roost about 5 miles loop, strenuous and Pfeiffer Falls the Valley View Trail. Buzzard Roost was tough, and no views at the top, all fogged in. Then we went to Valley View Trail because the easier Pfeiffer Falls trail is closed. Lots of climbing, but little bit short. Park by lot 1 larger or 2 (smaller lot). Go early cuz it fills up! Other time I got to hike River Gorge Trail, forgot to bring my sandals so didn't go into the cold water, friends liked it. Park by lot 3. Worth going! Worth a visit for hikes.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
