UPDATE: Due to the newly issued evacuation order and planned firefighting operations, Big Sur Campground & Cabins will no longer be reopening on August 27 as previously announced.
We’re looking forward to welcoming guests back to Big Sur Campground & Cabins beginning August 27.
While the Timber Fire remains active and continues to burn in the backcountry, Big Sur Campground & Cabins is not currently under an evacuation order, and there is no direct threat to the property at this time.
As the Big Sur community continues to recover, we want guests to know that their visit may look a little different than usual. Highway 1 is fully open, and guests can access Big Sur from both the north and south. However, some nearby state parks, beaches, trails, and recreational areas may remain closed or have limited access.
Because the Timber Fire remains active, smoke and air quality conditions may vary. Some mornings may experience heavier smoke, and conditions can change throughout the day.
While conditions continue to evolve, there are still opportunities to explore and enjoy the beauty of the area, including nearby outdoor destinations such as Garrapata State Park and Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Local restaurants, bars, and businesses in the immediate area are also open and ready to welcome visitors.
Most importantly, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the firefighters and first responders who have worked tirelessly to protect our community, its residents, and the places we all love.
Please remember that road, fire, park, recreation, and air quality conditions remain subject to change. We encourage guests to check for the latest updates and contact us directly with any questions before traveling.
