limekilnThis Limekiln State Park has a fairly small campground for the Big Sur coastline. Less than 50 sites qualifies this place as a Total Escape prime choice. The campsites sites are divided up into ocean front spots, as well as creek side camping & camping inside a redwood grove. Three separate loops makes for better privacy.

Nearby, Julia Pfiefer Burn State Park offers 2 eco camp spots, but these primitive sites have to be the best in cliff/beach camping anywhere in Central & Southern California. Located on a small pennisula with forested hill top cliff, over looking the beautiful Pacific & a gorgeous cove. The cove has a spectacular waterfall that drops fresh stream water directly into the ocean & white sandy beach. On the other side is crashing waves again large rocks lulling you to sleep.

Lots of history in the canyon. If you have no idea of what a kiln is, take the hike & find out. The waterfall trail is also a very short hike.
