Ocean View Campsites in Big Sur
Walk-in campsites above the Pacific, offering a simple, scenic way to experience the coast.
Camping vs Glamping in Big Sur
Camping at Treebones offers a more traditional experience compared to our yurts and other accommodations. Guests bring their own tent and gear, creating a hands-on, self-sufficient stay. What makes it different from typical camping is the setting and access. With ocean views, thoughtfully spaced sites, and shared resort amenities, it offers a more comfortable and elevated way to experience camping along the California coast.
Simple stays,
wild views.
Camping at Treebones offers a more traditional, self-sufficient way to stay, with walk-in sites and expansive views of the Pacific.
At the same time, it is shaped by the setting of the resort, with access to shared amenities that add comfort to the experience. The result is something in between: a stay that feels grounded in camping, with the atmosphere and ease of a Big Sur resort. Each site is positioned for open ocean views, with space to settle into the rhythm of the land and full access to shared amenities, including the pool, hot tub, breakfast, and on-site dining.
