Plasket Ridge Dispersed Campground
Plasket Ridge Dispersed Campground, near Big Sur, California, offers a unique camping experience with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding valleys. This location is perfect for those seeking a more rugged adventure, as it features no designated sites and is surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
Visitors often rave about the incredible scenery, with one camper describing their pullout as “blissful,” nestled between apple trees and overlooking the ocean. While the area is free to use, it’s important to note that amenities are minimal—there’s no drinking water, toilets, or trash disposal, so come prepared to pack out what you bring in.
The access road can be narrow and steep, making it a bit of a challenge, but those with 4x4 vehicles will find it manageable. Some campers have mentioned that weekends can get crowded, so arriving early is key to snagging a good spot. As one reviewer pointed out, “If you can get there before everyone else, it’s a cool spot.”
For those who enjoy off-roading, this area is a great place to test your skills while soaking in the stunning views. Just remember to respect the land and keep it clean for future visitors. Whether you're looking for a quick overnight stay or a longer escape into nature, Plasket Ridge offers a raw and beautiful setting that’s hard to beat.
