I'm looking for a tent camp site around Monterey area. Any recommendations?
Answer
I went camping at Andrew Molara State Park. I wasn't crazy about it (not enough shade during the summer) but it would be perfect for some people. It is a short walk from the beach, and is also next to a river which people tube down. The camping area is a wide open space, about a quarter to a half mile hike away from the parking.
Another place I have gone, not in Big Sur, but closer to Monterey, is Mount Madonna. It is in the middle of a redwood and oak forest, and is very pretty. It is along highway 152, between Watsonville and Gilroy. It gets crowded in the summer.

How about the best camping spot in that area and are there bears to worry about?
Answer
i live about 25 minutes away, and I can tell you that it has been a long time since bears were sited in the area, and that almost any campground there is great. the most popular ones are Fernwood, Riverside campground(popular with the locals too) and Pheiffer Big Sur State Park. Most of them will take reservations and it is recommended you get them. the best weather is in late august and most of September. It is usually nice and warm then, but the fog comes in most nights so be sure to pack warm clothes too.
