Deetjen's Big Sur Inn, provides rustic rooms and cottages nestle among redwoods and wisteria. Its quaint restaurant serves country comfort-style fare.
The 218-site Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park Campground is beside the Big Sur River in a valley shaded by redwood groves; facilities include showers. Summer crowds are the drawback to this otherwise idyllic scene.
Ripplewood has struck a blow for fiscal equality by having the same rates year-round. Cabins vary in details: all have kitchens and private bathrooms, some have fireplaces.
Two small walk-in campgrounds sit near the McWay Falls on a semiprotected bluff. Camper registration is at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park campground, 12 miles north.
The first-come, first-served, 24-hour, walk-in campground , a little under half a mile from the parking lot, has fire pits, vault toilets and drinking water, but no water views.
There are 20 comfy, country-style rooms, some with balconies overlooking the river (which many would call a creek). The grassy lawn between the water and the inn is a magnet for kids.
The last word in luxurious coastal getaways, the legendary Post Ranch pampers guests with lodgings that feature slate spa tubs, private decks, fireplaces, and even walking sticks for those coastal hikes.
In the Village, this option, popular with RVs, has 79 sites and some small cabins shaded by redwoods right on the Big Sur River. The camping store stocks the basics, and there are laundry facilities, hot showers and a playground.
Just south of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and set in a 40-acre redwood grove, this 80-site campground has beautiful secluded campsites with a lot of privacy.
Stay in the rambling, 1930s Big Sur Lodge, which has renovated, single- story attached cottages, a well-stocked general store and simple restaurant.
