Alder Creek Camp

Alder Creek campsite is 8 miles offroad from Hwy 1 in the Big Sur area. 4x4 is definitely recommended. There are a few spots a few miles from the highway where you can setup camp, but Alder camp is quite far down the road. There were only a few campsites that we could pull our cars into because the road leading to more had some trees down. Anyone who wants to go exploring this is your place! Great views all the way up

We camped at a primitive spot off the road on the way to the main camp. It was very quiet. Do watch for the cow patties!

Would not recommend for a trailer as theres not a lot of room for oncoming cars to negotiate, and i could see towing be an extra issue if the roads are wet.

Alder creek was a yearly place we visited, camped and fished but that was 5 years ago, loggers came in and destroyed the camp ground, the toilets are unsafe. The entire place is a fire hazard, such a shame. The forest service has really let us down. Sorry
