Information: A revealing photo looking down from the hill above down on Kirk Creek Campground which is on a gently rising ocean bluff. In my opinion Kirk Creek is the paramount of all the Big Sur California Coast Campgrounds; at Kirk Creek Campground almost every campsite has an Pacific Ocean California Coast View!
Near Points of Interest: A great photo opportunity you won't want to miss comes 17 miles north at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park called McWay Falls; you should park your car in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park parking lot there are several nice trails in including the short one that leads to the McWay Falls overlook; there are trails that go into the beautiful redwood forest and 1.9 miles north of the Julia Pfeiffer Burns main entrance is the very popular coastal hiking area Partington Canyon.
Beach Access and Day Use Picnic Areas: Kirk Creek Campground has a nice short trail that leads down to the beach which is a popular spot for surfing, rock fishing and beachcombing. Limekiln State Park is the next beach access north and it is only a couple of miles; one of the best beaches on the Big Sur coast is Pfeiffer State Beach it is 25.5 miles, the turnoff is at Sycamore Canyon; another great long white sandy Big Sur Beach which is popular is Sand Dollar Beach and Mill Creek which provides easy access to a small rocky beach and nice little picnic area is about a mile south.
Near places to Eat: My favorite Big Sur Ocean View restaurant Nepenthe is 23 miles north on the scenic PCH; Lucia is just 5 miles north and has a very nice ocean view restaurant (try the fish & chips) and the closest restaurant to the south is the Whale Watcher Cafe at Gorda which is 14 miles or Treebones which is about 13 miles.
Near Hotel Lodgings & Resorts: Lucia Lodge 3 miles ahead to the north and the Gorda Springs Cottages are 16 miles south.
Near Campgrounds: There is a tiny environmental tent campground with the much sought after highly coveted handful of ocean view tent campsites at Julia Pfeiffer Burns California State Park 12 miles ahead but it is always filled from reservations. The closest other campground is to the south 2 miles Kirk Creek Campground; the closest one to the north would be Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park which is 17 miles north.
Other Facilities, Services or Activities: On the coast in this area the traveler services and tourist facilities are sparse and spread out and this won't change for the next 24 miles.
