Limekiln State Park, Big Sur CA

Awesome and amazing place to visit. Fun for the whole family. Beautiful scenery and we cant wait to go back.

Some of the most marvelous views of the sea encountering the earth and the sun encountering the sea. Amazing place. It is hipnotizing.

Un lugar mágico. La vista del mar y los acantilados es inspiradora. El atardecer es asombroso.

This is a great location to go camping during the summer. We visited in late August and we couldn't have asked for better weather.

The hiking trails are beautiful. The go through the woods so there's plenty of shade from the trees. It's a very comfortable walk that can be done fairly easily by young children and even more elderly hikers. There only three trails in the park. One leads to the lime kilns and another leads to a small waterfall. The trails are really short; you can hike all of them in 2-3 hours.

We had a beachside campsite, so we always had a great view of the ocean. It got pretty windy in the afternoon but calmed down at night. My biggest problem with the campsite was that the ground was too hard to nail down our tents. We had to grab rocks to weigh down the corners of our tent.

The facilities of the campsites are good too. The restrooms were pretty clean and had plenty of toilet paper. There are showers that cost a quarter for 2 minutes. One thing I loved about Limekiln was the super friendly park rangers. We had a huge group and the checkin lady was really helpful about finding us campsites close together. She also regularly checked up on us to see how things were going.

I definitely recommend this campsite if you're looking to visit the Big Sur area!

Very cool place to hike. The valley runs deep back into the mountain with gorgeous trails. Really cool old giant kilns and an epic water fall at the end of the hike. Just below the parking area is also a breathtaking beach. Definitely worth a visit and an amazing way to spend the afternoon.

A great little roadside turnoff in Big Sur to watch a beautiful sunset. You can't buy this kind of beauty anywhere, cause it's free for the taking! Thank you again Mother Earth.

Our favorite camp site hands down. We always pick the forest side because it's nice to have some shade and the water is so close. There are some cool hikes around and its a nice drive up the coast to her there.

What was most memorable the camp host who was friendly. On a holiday weekend the park accommodated.day use and campers. 3 lovely hiking trails along creeks. Small beach but clean.

I had a campsite right in front of the beach, however the campsite was very rocky, it was
Impossible to put the pegs on the ground. We used rocks to secure our tent.

One of the most beautiful places.loved it.

Went back the very next weekend cause i wanted MORE

It is beautiful. I can't wait to go back next year. We went at the end of July and it was chilly for us. I blame OC for spoiling us with warm weather. We kept a sweater on most of the day. Nonetheless, it felt good and we enjoyed our trip.

This park is gorgeous! Great trails and the hike to the waterfall is pretty quick. It has beach access and the kilns are actually pretty interesting

The beach was alright, the water is really cold so you can't use it and the sand is actually gravel which is kind of irritating
The camp sites are on the smaller side but it's cozy and the trail is amazing, if somewhat short
The creek is a great place to just chill and hang out with your feet in the water, you can even go all the way in too since it's warm enough
Would definitely come back

This a very scenic place with huge variety of things to do. It's small, but has a lot in one place. Small camp ground, but nicely laid out, 3.5 of trails through redwoods to see the old lime kilns, year round waterfall and next to running water. Then you can take a short walk to a very nice beach.

We went for a day trip to see the coast and enjoyed it all

Never when in side, hoping to go next time I go. But I see its look so nice and fun. Must try it, hoping to go next yr and explore more.

What a wonderful state park and campground. Staff (Barbara) was extremely helpful and kind. Camping here gives you access to both a beach and hiking. There are showers on site but are coin operated. You’re also quite a ways from any real stores (aside from two small convenience stores) so plan accordingly. I would stay here again.

We couldn’t have been happier at our stay here! Where the forest meets the ocean! The staff was soooo friendly and helpful! Facilities and campground were clean. The hikes were AMAZING! And we were able to bring our four legged family member! We will be back for sure! Our new favorite spot!

One of my most favorite places since I was 3 years old you have the fantastic beach rate there and the amazing redwoods with waterfalls out there

Nice place to go for a hike! We did the hike to the lime kilns and it was pretty easy and relaxing.

Beautiful park! The hikes from here are gourgeous and breathtaking. The redwood groves are spectacular. If you dont want to pay the $10 day use fee you can park on PCH and just hike in. There is also beach access and bathrooms available. There are also a nice variety of camping spots, some one the beach and others in the woods.

Awesome campground and day use area with a path down to the beach where the river meets the ocean. There was a sea lion sunning itself on the beach the day we were there with sea otters bobbing in the waves in the distance. Dolphins come into the cove to feed at sunset, picture postcards setting. We will definitely be going back.
