Jillana BApril 1, 2013This place is truly a diamond in the rough. $5 entrance fee (cash only). Pack a lunch & wear your no-slip rock shoes. Watch out for the jellyfish & crabs. Don't forget, Take a million pictures.
AngelJuly 16, 2015Beautiful. On the ocean side, you can see McWay Falls, and inland, you can hike Ewoldson Trail - super dusty 4.5 mile uphill loop.
Damian BayonaMay 17, 2018The hike up valley view is worth the pit stop. Full restaurant and gift shop on site. Helpful staff. Killer scenery
Hannah RagusaOctober 22, 2018Make sure to buy a map! You鈥檒l need it and it鈥檚 only $2 (they take cash only for maps)
Jennifer HeitzOctober 25, 2021This is a hard hike with many stairs to climb and the waterfalls is just ok. I would pick a different hike if I come back.
Lindsay BrookeFebruary 16, 2016The hike up the mountain - not the one to the water fall- is amazing through the red wood trees. Challenging and rewarding.

- Raj PatelJuly 10, 2013Great camping site with clean bathrooms. Sleep with the Redwoods and the Big Sur river!
Shelly BaxterJune 29, 2012Be sure to throw your trash into the dumpster every night..... we had two skunks visit our trash bag.... not a welcome visit!
ScottySauceAugust 16, 2011The Big Sur river gorge pool gives you so much room for swimming and diving and we even found a rope swing for added excitement and danger.
- mark hullOctober 10, 2009Skip parking at the park. Park across the street, and hike up Buzzard's (which is just OK), or keep driving to Sycamore Canyon Dr and hit the beach
