KIRK CREEK CAMPGROUND : Located on an open
bluff, 100 feet above sea level, this campground is open all year, located
on an open bluff 100 feet above the ocean, just off Highway one in the
Los Padres National Forest. There are 33 campsites, and tent sites are
available as well. Along with a lovely view of Los Padres National Forest,
there is access to the beach and each of Kirk Creek’s 33 sites
has a view of the ocean and the spectacular Big Sur Coast. With a generous
2-week potential, the plausibility for exploring the 75 miles of untamed
Big Sur Coastline is doable. Kirk Creek is an excellent place to camp
and see the sites. It is a wonderful place to experience both the beauty
of the land and sea. |
