Location Details

Los Padres National Forest - Monterey Ranger District

United States / Big Sur, California
Location ID: #1076

Monterey Ranger District has many concession managed campgrounds and day use areas for which a fee is charged. Sites that are not concession-managed are free. All campgrounds on the District are accessible by passenger car. The ocean along the Big Sur Coast is dangerous and unpredictable with high and unpredictable surf, strong riptides and currents, and numerous rocks. There are no lifeguards. We strongly advise against swimming at all ocean beaches in Los Padres National Forest.
