Big Sur Sunset


Nice campground on highway 1 about an hour north of San Simeon & Hearst Castle. I rate this park F***. We camped at this park from 1-1-10 through 1-6-10 with our best friends, Kathy & Grant. No electric or water at site and was a little tight inside the park with my 40 footer but managed OK. Nice 10 to 15 minute hike to rocky shoreline. I would not recommend any swimming or fishing here. We came from the south and it was a challenge driving my 40 motorhome with jutting rocks on tight right hand turns. It was much easier travelling from north to south. We toured Hearst Castle while here. The Hearst family donated the property to the State who now maintains the propert and runs the tours. I understand it costs the State $13 Million yearly to operate and maintain the beautiful property.
