One of few free overnight in-vehicle camping spots in the area. This is across from a viewpoint pull off and does not have any no camping signs.
The night I camped here there were about 10 other vans/RVs/cars here before I arrived at 10 PM. This is in the shadows of hurst Castle and steps away from the ocean.
Not a spot for tent campers or those needing to spread out. It is truly just a pull off on the side of the road. But, it felt surprisingly safe, was not too loud until traffic picked up in the morning, is beautiful, and close to both Cambria and San Simeon.
Good spot for free overnight parking if you are driving hwy 1.
