About this park
Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is a redwood-filled canyon park along the Big Sur River on California's central coast. Tall trees, cool shade and the sound of running water give the park a calm, woodland feel that contrasts with the dramatic coastline nearby. A lodge and campground make it a comfortable base for exploring Big Sur, and trails lead to waterfalls, viewpoints and quiet forest. The river is a lovely place to wade and relax on warm days, and the park's setting makes it a favorite for families and hikers. Day use is $10 per vehicle, and camping runs $35 to $50 per night. Reserve early for summer weekends.
