Q. Okay well this Summer my family and I (2 adults 5 children) would like to go camping. We were thinking of somewhere beautiful, river or ocean side, and fun. I wanted to go to Big Sur, but about 98% of the tent sites were booked.. so where can I find somewhere to camp with my family.. in a beautiful forest or by a river or ocean in early July.. that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Thanks.
Answer
If 98% of the tent sites at Big Sur are booked, that would leave 2% open, would it not? If you can find ANY sites at this late date, TAKE THEM. I spend much of June and July trying to tell people that the sites they wanted were booked back in December and January. (In fact, you just missed the booking date for December, if you want to do some winter camping). Sites get booked through reserveamerica.com, at 8AM SHARP, on the first of each month (except January, when it's the 2nd). The best spots in many campgrounds are filled within seconds. Within 5-10 minutes, all the sites are gone.
Either of the two sites in Big Sur are excellent (Pfeiffer-Burns or Pfeiffer Big Sur). San Simeon is also a beautiful campsite along the coast. Further south, you have Carpinteria, El Capitan, or Refugio State Beaches. At this point, you should be logging in every day to see if there are any cancellations.
Good luck.
