Pfeiffer Big Sur Campground Reviews from The Last Year
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.
A beautiful state park along Highway one in Big Sur.
The drive there is breathtaking and not a mile goes by without a beautiful view. The state park is lovely which includes redwoods and oak trees. We were there in spring so there were flowers as you walk. Going to the Falls, which takes about 45 minutes at a fair clip is well worth it. we were there in the first half of May and it was not that crowded and as you walk to the falls the crowd thins out. I highly recommend this State Park and you probably want to spend at least 2 to 4 hours there.
I feel as if there are some confusing reviews about
I feel as if there are some confusing reviews about Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park in this particular listing. Some reviews call out the waterfall (McWay Falls) at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, which is an entirely different park, further south. Others have posted a review of Pfeiffer Beach which has its own entrance fee and down the road on the west side of Highway 1. Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is it's own entity along the Big Sur river on the east side of Highway 1. It has a lodge, restaurant, campgrounds, river and redwood trails and is home of Pfeiffer Falls. They do a great job of keeping their website updated with park and trail information: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=570 I love visiting this park for the peaceful woods and river walk. Some popular trails include the semi-loop up to Buzzards Roost, Valley view and a side journey to Pfeiffer falls. In the winter storms of 2023, part of the trail to the falls (including a recently built footbridge) sustained major damage so is only partially accessible, The hikes don't feature the standard sweeping Big Sur views but are lovely in their own ways. Spring brings an array of wildflowers and it's a place to enjoy the redwoods along the coast. The entrance fee will also cover the fees for Andrew Molera and Julia Pfeiffer parks but Pfeiffer Beach collects its own fee. They also accept the CA state parks day use pass. Great park for relaxing strolls, short but steep hikes and an up close look at the river. One of my favorite state parks!
People come here to camp celebrates get married or just to
People come here to camp celebrates get married or just to enjoy the state park. It's a great place to see redwoods in to enjoy the Big Sur river. There's a restaurant in Lodge and gift shop but most people come here to camp. At the end of camp there's a river you can walk up to it and not far away is a gorge for swimming.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
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.
