Riverside Campground & Cabins

Riverside Campground & Cabins sits on CA-1 in Big Sur, with accommodations tucked among coastal redwoods, maple, oak, laurel, and poplar along the Big Sur River. The lineup ranges from cozy one-room cabins to two-bedroom units with kitchens and fireplaces, plus simple rooms and both RV and tent sites. Select RV sites handle trailers and motorhomes up to 25 feet and come with a picnic table, fire pit, and water and electric hookups.

The draw here is the river itself. Swimming and tubing are the main on-site activities, and the sound of moving water carries into most of the sites and cabins. A camp store covers basics, and fire pits and fireplaces mean evenings by the fire are part of the standard stay, not an add-on. Beach access and several hiking trails are a few minutes' drive up the highway, making it easy to pair a quiet riverside base with a day outdoors.

This is a working campground and cabin property rather than a boutique retreat, so expect a practical, family-friendly setup: mixed forest surroundings, natural wood interiors in the cabins, and a straightforward range of lodging types to suit different budgets and group sizes. The price tier is listed as affordable, and the property is classified as a cabin stay with trail access, fire pit, fireplace, and waterfront amenities.

Booking and current availability run through the official site or by phone. Specific nightly rates, exact sleeping capacities, and any minimum-stay requirements aren't listed here, so confirm those details directly with Riverside Campground & Cabins before planning a trip.
